Looks like it's going to be breeze on this weekend.  Who's doing what and where?

We're going to try to train from Lym, but if we get the same conditions as saturday last weekend, it'll probably be a bad idea.  It's gets very hectic near hurst Castle with wind against tide, but we still managed to get a decent session in (even if we did wipeout a fair few times. 49ers just can't take big wind and waves....)

 Oh no! I've got go out with my brother in a 400 so he can learn rudderless sailing (his dinghy instructor assement next weekend!), and with 30kts it could be quite a 'experience'!

Dare I say it ... finally some Windsurfing weather!

Rudderless isnt a requirement to become an instructor but the people who run the courses in suffolk still make you do it as a requirment, therefore we have to do it .

Hmmm, turns out I have no crew for tomorrow. Might solo it in a 3k, maybe the cherub I’m feeling adventurous/mad.
