The funny thing is, you're contagious! When you reply to a PM, the text of the previous message is included, with the local time you received it. Yesterday, 30th May at 8.30am, I opened the answer of a PM you received on 30th May at 10.16am... Yipeee!! We'ere getting back in time! PS. Can you tell me the winning numbers for the Lottery, pleeeeeeaaaaase? |

Blobby's in Singapore, 8 hours ahead of us. He's just arrived to the office when we're thinking that bed might be an option after all. I am near Brighton (UK) but I can take as an excuse that I'm not wearing a watch Other people post from the USA, Australia or more exotic places. The sun never sets on the Y&Y forum (sounds like a good slogan! Pity it's already been done |

It was quite windy, even to watch. The beach is rather sheltered, but the open bay was wooooohoooooooo! Besides, the fleet got regularly drenched by refreshing squalls of pelting rain and hailstones... Tough guys, the Contenders.... The rest of Cornwall is gorgeous (well, the bit I saw, on land |

Just got back from Porthpean - you were right about that ramp. And because it had been so wet the compound was very muddy as well. The club is extremely sheltered from the wind so you have no idea that it is blowing 30 knots out there with big waves. Least said about my results the better!! It all started with a broken shroud/trapeze wire after rounding the windward mark in race 1. Lets say I got very wet and was lucky to keep my mast!! Next to go was my halyard and finally my nerve when it was blowing and forecast to get stronger. On the final day the committee boat could not get out of the harbour so we did not get to go out. anyway, next year..... |

Sounds like the whole family is going to have fun! It seems the campsite's only 1 1/2 miles from the Lost Gardens of Heligan... With a bit of luck, I might have located them by the end of the week! I'll be back next week with pictures I hope...

3 or 4 on a Tasar? Jeez that'll be more like 4 or 5 for a Contender then. I went to see the Lost Gardens of Heligan once... I couldn't find it. After an hour driving around the right place we asked someone and they didn't know where it was either but they phoned someone else who did. Fairly impressive but full of (really) old people. |
