It's getting right up my nose and no mistake!

A weekend of either too much or not wind always coming from just not quite the right direction and now I'm back slaving at the services it's bright sunshine and perfect gentle breezes all the way

And what's the forecast for next weekend? More cloud and gusts up to F freakin' 9 for crissakes!

It's an annoyance yes.
But your still alive and the sun is shining.

 

[sailorman]

You are not alone my Son.

There are just 3 kinds of wind..........

Too little
Too much
Wrong direction.

Ah yes, well indeed being still alive is a daily blessing (and source of both amazement and relief I might add)

But the sun shining I could really do without during the week 'cos it's finding it's way through the blackout curtains in our bedroom and keeping me awake all day! The "joys" of being a creature of the night I'm afraid.

Ah, maybe that comes with age.

i wasnt dreaming either

Whatever. This weekend, I am going sailing. I intend to give the storm job and 3rd reef a thorough test.

Erm, do I take it now would not be a good time to update those interested, and advise that permission has been granted to make ready for a launcheon meet ?

A trip to Southwold last Monday and another to Manningtree yesterday proves the theory that we will possibly be better off as our day off is said Monday, and from what we saw at Southwold I'm glad we didn't sail that weekend

I may well be taking up the offer of pimms & punting on the Cam on Saturday rather than a sail out of Brightlingsea.

 

[nickd]

To hell with it I'm going sailing. But I'm hoping it wont be quite as bad in N wales as it is in the channel

Yeah, think I'm going too - but we probably won't get out of the river system on Saturday. Might try a hop across the bay to Walton Backwaters on Sunday.

O well I won't be missing much in the way of sailing while towing the caravan down to Cornwell to collect the youngest and all her goods from the end of her 3 years at uni.
Just hope not to have to much of a side wind.

We only took a car load down.
Now not sure if we can get it all in the car and the van!

Hope to be back on the water next weekend.

Excellent Nige, pleased you have made up the crew for Chris.

I'm doing a 24 hour dinghy race at the weekend, looks like it could be rather interesting...
