Lets change that to... The pessimist complains about the cold; the optimist hopes it will be warm; the realist puts more clothes on, moves around the boat and smiles!

No gloves, Ross? No wonder your hands were chilly. But there really doesn't seem to be a solution to cold hands. I've tried various supposed winter gloves before reverting to Marigolds, which at least drain quickly and keep the wind off (and grip almost too well). |

BBSC Was pretty unsailable for me in the 14. The cold and gusts and wind variation was horendous.
Some good runs though so not too bad Alex |

Light'n'sh*te! Got very grumpy and arsey with the lack of wind and so didn't
exactly concentrate. No concentration means doing stupid things like capsizing when there's no wind.... So frustrating! Not exactly my best Hoo Freezer result, in fact I think I probably was near last. Grrrrr!! I can't do the light stuff! |

It wasn't exactly 3000-weather either, Doug, but the rest of us enjoyed it! Good attendance of top guys, sunshine, not too cold, and even the odd few seconds on the plane. Brilliant course with lots of varied legs downriver - huge improvement on previous years. Good RO, with a spot on decision for a general recall after the wind swung within the 1-minute (bet there'll be at least one person who disagrees there!). What more can you want for a winter event? 5mph more wind, maybe, but then it gets colder with the wind-chill... |

Spent the day running the new rib engine in.
Shame I didnt have my camera on me as we saw a colony of 7 Seals in Maylandsea creak (on River Blackwater, Essex) took a trip to Maldon and down to West Mersea before going back. Would of been a nice day to test sail the 700 but wasnt in Essex. |

Good Sail At BBSC yesterday. No wind in the morn. But picked up to very intemittent twinning breeze so not too bad. 1st on the water so wont complain too much. Second race just before start, tiller extension came off so just had a bit of a blast.
