As I said before it's one of my favorite sailing waters and I have been lucky enough to
have been to more venues than most over the years.  Three fishing villages around the lake
so seriously big.  Good Med sea breezes and great waves to play with.  For the cultural
types  Rome is nearby and I shouldn't need to tell anyone what's there to
enjoy!



yeah a major domestic headache Rodders...

picture it, nice hotel in Rome...

'...what light from yonder window breaks'

that be Luca and Rodney waving torches saying the breeze is on and it's time to go
sailing!

I can just imagine it... have a nice walk around the Piazza Darling. Why not grab
yourself an ice-cream, maybe chill with some Prosecco to a 'good book'. I'll be back
later, just nipping off to the lake to get ass handed to me by the Italian D-One
fraternity...


I'm thinking roses, violin players and other related scenes from the Walls Vienetta
adverts don't go hand in hand with bogging off sailing like any other Sunday!

Nice idea though

That's not even worthy of a comment James!

Nice one ....    Keep at it !   pies all round for Garda maybe though.   Pity you will not be at the Blaze Nats at Warsash unless you can scrounge one  - its looking increasingly like high 40's again ... maybe 50.

Perhaps we can share Blaze/Halo and D1 meetings soon.

Well done Tim, that must be some thrill.  If you can keep it up you may be the first (European???) Champion.  With the boats obvious pedigree thats no mean feet.

I must say the D-ones looks have really grown on me, especially as its developed and the venues you are sailing at are A1, i am very jealous and wish i had the money to buy the boat and the understanding wife to let me loose in Europe.

You'd sell it after 3 months! (Like every other boat you've ever owned).
