You've got water inland?
Down here we've had the longest drought on record, and many dams and lakes have been dry or almost dry for years. It's quite bizarre to stand on the "shore" of a lake that used to be 17km across, near the boat ramp and the jet-ski sign and down from the old sailing club, and see nothing but blowing dust over an area of 170 square kilometres that used to have an indigenous scow class, a 420 fleet and a few trailable yachts. About a dozen clubs have folded. Luckily, it looks like the La Nina weather pattern has moved on and we may start seeing a revival in inland sailing. |

Nice bit of spin. I've never been a fan of that limescale taste and the wrecking effect on your kettle |

I've given up drinking water.....does that help? Best cup of tea I've ever had was made from Loch Lomond water....it's the acid. |

Chasewater in staffs/ walsall has been empty for repair, Draycote may be able to give them a place to sail at a discount till they get the water back, I went to chase when Blithfield was close for foot and mouth, they gave us a discount. Chris |
