-Welcome back dear readers to the penultimate event in the Cherub Travellers' Series.

 Race 2 saw close racing between all the boats with place changes a plenty. Eleanor managed to find a path through the Ospreys (great fleet to share an event with by the way) to claim the win from Green. Race 2 saw close racing between all the boats with place changes a plenty.

 Races 4 and 5 proved that a good night's sleep and a T total lifestyle is definitely not required for Poppy's crew, who finally showed the skills they had been showing all year to challenge the Green Bananas. The only problem was those Bananas are slippery and found a way through to win the first two races of the day. Races 4 and 5 proved that a good night's sleep and a T total lifestyle is definitely not required for Poppy's crew, who finally showed the skills they had been showing all year to challenge the Green Bananas.

-Well done to Green Bananas who showed strong pace to win on theire return, with Poppy coming a close second. A special mention should go to Ronin's new crew for learning new skills in conditions not ideally suited to a new team.+Well done to Green Bananas who showed strong pace to win on their return, with Poppy coming a close second.
