Finished!

Sorry guys had an amazing sail over to troon in quite strong winds and swell but only took 2 hours to get in! Flying through the outer harbor at 5 knots was pretty exciting the Dave and Ross jumped in the dinghy to run to the finish at the marina office. Ross and Andy ran an amazing race on arran and came back on board buzzing with excitement.
We kept oguns engine in neutral all the way over to make sure we were ok but all our phones died hence the lack of blogging.
We were 13th overall 5th in class. If we had been an hour quicker we would have been 2nd it was that close. 27 retirals this year and I think it was harder than last year.
Thanks to Mark for coming down for a beer wnd to congratulate us. Dave gs Jim and dad also came over and Ross wife Julie Ann and daughter heather stayed for a while so we had some very brave people sitting on a very smelly boat! It was great to meet you all and great to share the finish.
So now home with a huge pile of the dirtiest smelliest washing to get though and apparently returning to work. I am also delighted to tell you I am an aunty again to a beautiful little boy. finlay Colin arrived yesterday safe and well and mum and dad are ecstatic. I think missing this years race has now been well and truly worth it!
Thanks again for the support and see you all next year! Xxx
