Yeah we did feel unloved lol you didnt come to speak to us..................and i guess we didnt speak to you either did we !!!! sorry!

Ur mate wasnt helping you much was she ........you were hiking like hell and she was lying in the boat by ur feet by the looks of it!!

Why did you have to be towed in when you capsised? was it to hard to right the boat?

Well this week has been a fun one but once again I havent been sailing  and to top it off my hlem texted me saying hes sellin gthe boat  so I wont be sailing again for a while.

But back to the weekend masses of squals flying across the river and having to keep in radio contact from one end of river to other so that the begginer group could get their kites downb before the qual hit  provided some interesting results. Also having the start line set in less than 2ft of water wasnt too smart.

My mate has never been on a boat in her life , I just thought it would be fun to take her out! Unfortunately, I didn't realise how windy it would be till I got there,oops!!  

What happened was, my mate had to be in by 12, and it was like 5 to 12, we were still a bit away from the shore, i hit my arm with the boom and it was being a beast to sail upwind! So i asked the rib if they could drop us at shore (me being a lil lazy ) and they agreed!! As they tried to head for shore, a gust hit the boat and it flipped over!! They were starting a race in a few mins so they couldn't be bothered to right it (and I thought i was lazy...!)
