I woke up to a bright sunny Sunday morning Went and got the papers in shirt sleeves Blowing F3 - F4 Cursed my helm who does not sail during the winter
By 12.00 it was cold, raining, snowing, hailing, and blowing a hooley Love my helm - he's a great bloke |

Went for a blast within sight of Alexandra Palace on Sunday- not many people turned up, so there was a lack of racing. Clearly, ideal conditions to be testing out our fatter-headed main... though we only went in due to a too-timid gybe.
Did wonder if what I'd been claiming about sheet loads etc on the B14 stand counted as "lies". Got some practice in as regards shoulder-barging my helm to the back of the rack when the bow goes down, too. Superb fun. |

My Tonic reminded me just how unstable it is yesterday, with a couple of windward splats, one before the start and one after having decided it was foolishly windy and was sailing back to shore. The second one propelled my over the bows of the boat and into the water infront, which at least amused onlookers, but I ache today, after less than 1/2 an hour's sailing! |

Poor Ratface, another visit to the doctor and more weeks from not sailing. He will inform us later but I am not sure the boat beat him up, more his body telling him something, the boat didn't hurt him. |

Well thats it mate you hit the nail on the head, although i have spent a year out of the class i still have had a lot more time in the boat. They are so rewarding to sail once you get over the intial wet period!!
