The initial forecast of wind and rain seemed to be correct, and as the boats prepared for the race the wind seemed to pick up.

The Morning After the DAY Before
Following yesterday’s wedding celebrations, many of the guests were surprisingly bright after having danced the night away into the early hours. Photos will follow (when someone sends them to me!)

Bank Holiday Monday
The forecast was for more wind than Sunday, but there was considerably less as the boats were rigged. By the time the boats were on the water the wind had filled in and looked considerably more promising but, as ever, there were some big shifts to contend with and as a result the fleets were all well intermingled at the windward mark.… Read full article “Bank Holiday Monday”
