Mersea Week

[cookjwm]

Its that time again and I'm pleased to say so far so good. However can I make a plea for sailors to be aware of the start area and line? On Sunday four boats ambled through the cruiser line and yesterday one came through the line, then turned round and proceeded back through it just as we were starting the Sonata fleet, fortunately a smaller fleet than some of the others. He then wandered over and just avoided the brig race.

Can make life difficult -so please, if there's a large boat with flags and guns going off and a load of boats around, could you help by staying clear! You are more than welcome to watch proceedings of course.

Cruisers are just south west of the Nass, dinghies and brigs further east but inshore north of the Nass. The channels are unobstructed.

Many Thanks

This brings back a painful memory.
I managed to stay clear of the finishing line a few years ago, and we were leading Stella!:disgust:
hope you are having a great week.

very good so far thanks, its a shame we are now down to two Stellas, both acquitting themselves well tho.

Just the one cruising boat through the line yesterday......actually seems rather quiet on the water other than the racers

Think they are all trying to plan the best time to leave Dover! ;-)

No, Polaris. Even worse because Richard Matthews had been watching and came over to congratulate us, not knowing our cock up.

I hear a Dragon had a problem at a mark on Wednesday
