After a cold night, the Southerly breeze was pleasantly mild, and lighter than the general forecast, but forecast to increase over the morning. The only takers were Mike/Kayla in their F15, and Dave/Lynn in their GP, but they had a good race, and relying on the least number of mistakes to win!… Read full article “Sunday Best”
Soaked!
Despite the odd rain shower in the morning the weather stayed dry with good spells of sunshine to take the chill out of the air.
Much to Herb’s dislike, the day’s racing comprised a two pursuit race series. Mik led the fleet for the first half of race one until Dave passed him in a Laser and gained a lead which no-one could touch.… Read full article “Soaked!”

The lake is certain to rise over the next couple of days but it’s impossible to say by how much.… Read full article “Lake Level”

Night Jar 17
To quote TS Elliot the Night Jar series “ended with a whimper”. It was very wet, it was windy and nobody really wanted to go through the routine of rigging and launching.
John & Hazel said they might if they had someone to sail against. … Read full article “Night Jar 17”
