These people that can sail when the rest of us are working
   I sailed the 700 on Sunday, got to the club to find it was a long distance sail to Maldon and Back about 10 miles (S.A.L.T.Y where were you!) Anyway was great going up river with the kite up, a few swims later, then upwind all the way back. Still learning (2nd sail on the sea) and still loving the feeling of the kite up and out on the wire. |

EMBARRASSING
Well, today was light breeze but being my first weekend playing with the new boat, was determined to go out and practice. The odd thing is when you've sailed pretty quick skiff-style boats for the last few years, the concept of speed is slightly slanted. In the belief that I could travel further and faster than realistically possible, I end up getting ripped by the tide out to sea......WAY WAY OUT TO SEA! Yes, today I owe my life to the RNLI who rescued my ass!!!!!! The Swanage boys who are always 'on call' at the swanage life boat station came to my rescue and brought me back home. One of them who came out is a good friend of mine who's taken full advantage to mock me all day. However, I'm happy for him to mock me because I'd rather he save my ass to be able to mock than any other possible scenario. My first weekend out from swanage sailing club is the first weekend in my life I've needed saving. To all the people on call around the country as part of the RNLI Thank You Thank You Thank you Because I was sh*tting it and you came and brought me home. I'm extremely grateful that you guys are there for us sailing folk. Doug H Edited by Doug.H |

"Come to Plymouth" they said, "the sea breeze is fantastic" they said, "sailing outside the breakwater- worth the trip out" I was told.
Drift, drift, drift. Ah well, These things happen. |

Sailed this weekend at Alton Water, had a good laugh, met up with a few people from here, and even had a chat with Oldarn about his AltO!
Must say I do like the look of it .. Not sure I have the weight or a crew, but i'm gonna have to give it a try one day! Oh, and I wasn't last, before you ask! |

Had a really great weekend with other 3000's at the Langstone Harbour Race Weekend (a sort of mini-Chichester Fed week for the harbour next door). Despite a light forecast and drifting pre-start, the sea breeze rescued us and we had a sparkling sail both days (unfortunately I was RO at Wilsonian on the Monday). Yes, it really was as sparkly as this: |

Been a great weekend on the water! Yesturday was my first race in the
Streaker. Started off light but a good solid see breeze filled in. Pretty fun downwind! Today not so fun, started light and stayed light but it was good racing none the less. I redeemed myself this weekend after last weekends incident. Though now I'm getting a lot of hassle about the Streaker's PY number. Anyone know whether the Streaker's PY is particularly fair or is a bit of a bandit? Doug H |
