The Heron Nationals on Lake Cootharaba Queensland 2013/14, was a fantastic family regatta and as you know, it's not always just about the sailing.
It's about:
The Pre Race Score Board Perusal
The Kids
The Location
The Lay Day
The Food
Off Venue Venues
The Majestic Theatre Pomona
The Apollonian Hotel Boreen Point.
The Post Regatta Tie On
The Preso

Congratulations to everyone and thanks to Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club, for putting on a great regatta.
And it's all over for another year. What a fabulous way to end one year and start another.
See you in Tassie for 2014/15.
Oh and even though 1st and 6th were wooden boats with Freddy Foils, guess who built the other 5 boats in the top seven places. Hello Freddy.
