Who was out again this weekend???

   We were out on the 49er yesterday, didn't look too windy until we got out there and it was at least a constant 5, beautiful weather though. Had a real good blast and learned a hell of a lot about the boat. Got a slow motion pitchpole in and have bruises all over me. Why can't every weekend be like this

	The weather was great for what I wanted to do yesterday: take photos from the rescue boat. There wasn't too much wind, quite flat sea, sunshine... There were quite a few boats of various classes out, the rescue boat team was happy to have me on board, everything was fine I got in my wetsuit, grabbed the camera, ran down the beach, took a couple of shots of people launching and................. the batteries died! Of course, the spare batteries were sitting at home, on my desk all along ! ARRGH! Next time, maybe...

	Was out on Saturday for our Laser open. Decided during the second race that I should have stayed in bed and kept nice and warm as swimming was just no fun! All in all it was a good event and we all had fun in the breeze! (Where's my radial gone...would have been ideal for it on Saturday :-S) Paul

	I was team racing on saturday - far too much wind for it, but great fun to blast about the place.One bloke did a proper T-bone on a Laser 2, putting a hole, 6" accross, right in the side of the boat. It was great, you could see right inside the hull, up and down...

	lucky b s, i turned up to go sailing, but didn't even bother getting the boat out as there was no wind (i even waited for about 3 hours hoping it might fill in)
	Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
