Things to do
Sail the GP14 .. bust that as well put my foot through the floor, plywood had rotted
Sail the Laser .. yup but me arse got wet
Charter Sadlers .. good fun but gets expensive

Bought a new bike brill but me arse got sore
Work .. suppose its an option
Start climbing again .. too fat

Gardening .. snore

Any other ideas?

How about using the time to fit a mainsheet traveller fo GR whilst she's out of action?

We find that a bit of twist in the main can give us an extra 1/2knot in light winds and dropping it to leeward in a blow is our first reef. Makes it easier to balance the rig and avoid undue strain on the 'udder.

Just a thought!

If we unseated sailors can't find someone to gissa boat ride this weekend, do you fancy a bike ride?

Charity?

I knew her sister.

If I'm going cycling I need all my loose change to donate to good causes like publican's retirement plans.

Re: When you can\'t go sailing

I have noticed that when the wind is too strong for dinghy sailing, the board sailors appear. I usually put the bicycle in the car as an alternative in case my sailing group prefer a cycle ride.
When I used to trail ride we rode whatever the weather.
Another good alternative might be to paddle a canoe in sheltered water, (windage is surprising)

Re: Pedalo

I'm probably going to Poole for Saturday evening - New Forest would be easy for me... it is more or less flat isn't it?
