It is seriously icey up here. The roads are really bad aparently. It was -5 when I went to bed at about 11:15 last night. Clear skies and no snow though

Now that you've all got your boats packed up ready, why not come to the Hoo Freezer on the Medway tomorrow? They've shelved the Mickey-Mouse lapping courses and todays Practice Race was a nine-miler downriver and back.

One thing I heard they were planning to change overnight was the starting order - that is, the slow fleet will probably start before the fast fleet to ensure everyone gets back before the tide goes out at Hoo! But actually, you'll have more than three hours, which should be plenty - the target for the race will be appreciably shorter than that in this weather.

That said, it was sunny here today!:

Hey less of the exclamation marks after the name of Gods chosen county,
that's bordering on blasphemy.

There is no snow here, and even if there were we would have dealt with it
accordingly, nice sunny day the coconut trees are on the verge of blossom,
there's a hint of spring in the air

And I don't have a boat.
