Banjo goes to Weston.

just had a couple of days over in the Axe on Weston Bay YC pontoon. As normal overwelmed with the friendly welcome I allways get there from various members. They are talking of extending the pontoon to take an extra boat.

Nice gentle sail over but got caught in a nasty little rain squall on the way back .Left Weston in blue sky and perfect breeze ,all hell let loose in the middle for abouit 20 minutes then sailed into Cardiff in blue sky again.

Looks lovely, apart from that black cloud.....
Did you all go?

Getting used to Banjo a bit more every week?

just on my own ,boys in school etc. It was a last minute decision when the weather looked a bit better.Im starting to get used to Banjo now.She is very different from our last boat so takes a bit of getting used to.I was lucky not to trash the sails in that squall.Just got the main down when it arrived.Went off on a reach with about 3 square feet of jib rolled out untill it went through. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I've often seen those storm clouds in the BC from Ogmore or Southerndown. i didn't realise they had strong winds as well though.
