Well at least it’s not raining! Another glorious morning, unfortunately the wind is continuing to blow in from the North East so it seems highly unlikely that there will be any sailing as OD Ian Preston seems quite happy to sit back reading his paper and having another cup of tea.… Read full article “Bank Holiday”
One of the Boys!
With racing cancelled for the day, several of the ‘boys’ opted to go out for a trash around in the club toppers. Of course Toggle isn’t one to miss out on the action and he prepped up to go out. His boat capsized while it was on the trailer!… Read full article “One of the Boys!”
Flying 15 TNT NW Travellers Open Meeting
0700: It’s bad enough when you can’t trust the forecast, but when the weather observations (from nearby Keswick) don’t reflect what is actually occurring it gets unbelieveable.

Bank Holiday Monday
Can’t be! It’s Sunny! Shame is that there’s no wind. Bass is again the epicentre of its own micro-climate. From time to time ripples on the water tease us into thinking the wind is filling in and settling down. No such luck.… Read full article “Bank Holiday Monday”
