The final race of the season seemed as it may have already happened when those keen sailors arrived, as the lake was mirror like with little prospect of there being sufficient wind. The trickle of wind on the opposite shore did fill in by noon, and with a little persuasion, the fleet of five boats ventured out. As noted last week, the overall result was not to change, as Tim Knowles had already won the series, but it was a pleasant end to the season.
All that remains is for the buoys to be picked up and the boats put away and forget about things for the forthcoming winter months. As if! There are plenty of close season jobs to do, and if you are getting bored don’t hesitate to contact Mike, Steve, or Pauline who will put you in the direction of someone that could do with a few hours of your help down at the club
