East Coast Week 2003

 |
| Baltika, The start of East Coast week with a cruise down to Granton for the start of the race. | |
| Feeder race start time 7.00 pm, distance approx. 60nm from Granton, to the Bell rock and
into Royal Tay. With the wind from the west it was a spinnaker run from Granton to the Bell rock for approx. 8 hours averaging around 6 knots,
then a further 2 hours of hard beat to finish the race at the mouth of the Tay just after 5am. We were to cover around 250nm during the week of sailing. |

| On the sail back to Port Edgar a Minke whale followed us for about 10 minutes. We estimate is to be around 7m long, which would make it a young adult. The location was about 4 miles north of the Carr buoy. We also saw some common Bottlenose dolphins but were unable to take a clear photo. | |

Notes.
Excellent week of sailing, however it was either flat calm or blowing a force 7. We won three of the 7 races but had to retire on race 5 due to a problem with the roller reefing. We were struggling with race 1 and 7 due to the very strong winds, force 5 to 7 and with only Sam and I on board it was tough going.
