Anyone Actually Go Sailing Today?

   "I'm starting to the think all internet weather sites should be banned from all sailors"

Yes Doug.H....there was some conversation at our club last night about that. We've removed the webcam and it's been suggested that all weather info and links be removed from the club website. But I guess most of us know how to quickly access Windguru and other such sites.

	Nope 27 kts with 40 gusts tends to break stuff I've noticed, better off on something without wires and ropes, not that I bothered.

	Was out a Datchet; they put on two races. I have to admit i didn't even finish one - but i had a laugh (and a lot of capsizes hooning about) - getting the kite up made the lake feel very small.

	A small group of us went out at blithfield. It was big breeze in the morning but by the time racing started it actually died right down. Everyone that was put off by the weather forecast missed some really good sailing. I'm starting to the think all internet weather sites should be banned from all sailors.
