21st Jan: up to Sandringham with a following breeze, and dropped anchor off the yacht club at 3:30. Beth and the twins came down to the beach cafe for coffee. It was good to see Beth and to catch up with the twins and Chester.�On and Beth�were arranging to split their domestic life between the renovated bungalow in Hampton and�a nursing home in Bendigo..but that's their story...Looking around for fun in Phillip Bay, we found we were too late to enter the Melbourne to Geelong race, but we raised a crew and tagged along anyway.

After a fairly ordinary start we caught the excitement and�overtook several boats under�Col's intense piloting. Flying the boat down the long channel into Geelong was exhilarating.
