  … to be caught wearing a pinny while making breakfast the morning after the night before? Our boatman Tom was! |

After the Rain…
The rain cleared overnight on Friday with a forecast of 10-12mph afternoon breeze from the SW for Saturday
The FF team racing having been cancelled we had the lake to ourselves. There were many puffs of wind which made all the difference in terms of getting lifts, but they never seemed to be sustained long enough to gain a good advantage.… Read full article “After the Rain…”

Sunday Update
The light winds from the south made things seem like there was a pleasant sail ahead. Although William and Elaine were able to pull away on the beat from the single handers, the single handers benefitted on the runs. However, after completing two laps in 40 mins OD Mike Moore let William sail on (as Alan Waugh in his mirror had just started his second lap) but shortly after the wind faded and it was to be another 50 mins before William completed the next lap.… Read full article “Sunday Update”
