This weekend was a little quieter due to Andy Smith & Co venturing to Edinburgh for his stag night. Andy did take his passport with him, but he obviously didn’t realise that there is no passport control to cross the Scottish border (even the Welsh charge to cross the Severn bridge!). 30 people went up there, and it’s certain that most will return before the wedding.
Rhonwen’s comments regarding Saturday’s courses were less than positive – However, it was explained that the courses were set for the changeable wind, it’s just that the wind didn’t change!
Mike Chappell misjudged the depth of water when going up the lake on Sunday afternoon, and came to a sudden halt as he hit some rocks. Unfortunately, he split the centreboard casing during this unplanned manoeuvre.
The sun has shone all weekend which has suited the well attended training event hosted by Nigel Lewis, with a lot of help from daughter Wendy, and John Crosbie. Despite the variable wind conditions there were many successes including 5 RYA level 2s, 1 RYA level 1, and 1 Junior level 2
