The Beachmaster is a force to be reckoned with here at Largs. Our sailors learned this morning that while there are dozens of official volunteers in official looking uniforms giving official direction in the launch approach, only one person really matters in the end...
the Beachmaster!
After two false starts approaching the safety tally box (above left), Team USA slid back toward the boatpark to await the next wave of launches... all but Nathaniel, who slid over to the left corner of the entrance hoping to hold his place.
Unfortunately, the Beachmaster apparently has eyes in the back of his head and caught our boy in action! Poor Nathaniel (looking a bit forlorn in "Launch Purgatory" above right) was allowed to stay right where he was... but not allowed to enter the slipway until every other boat in his fleet launched. Ouch! Don't mess with the Beachmaster!
