The fifty series is interesting. 

The contents there are a real insight into grf. http://www.surf-sales.com/Pics/

I wonder what sort of chap commissions his own painting.

Well if you must know, that was a friend of my mother, who painted it 30 odd years ago, from the original that graced the centre pages of Dinghy Magazine, for my mother, not something I've ever posted links to here, although the original is on the wall at home now, since she passed on. Back then we owned an Arts Shop, supplied artists materials, I was a graphic artist, folk painting stuff is not uncommon in my world, it's not a big deal.

The other shot taken at Wraysbury lake I have, in a send up as i recall, since it is decidedly dorkish looking, in keeping with present company.

It seems that work is conspiring against me. After saying I can have that weekend off they are now telling me I might need to work. Can you take me off the list and I will sign up online if they tell me otherwise. Sorry guys it would have been a great weekend. You have all laughed at the wreck of a boat I sail!
