IMO having a membership renewal right after christmas is always going to result in people delaying their renewals whilst their finances recover from Christmas...just my opinion...

Oh and on the weather front -5 this morning, welcome to British Summer Time....

Over the top  NE winds for the rest of the week (that's since what, weeks now, anyone remember it blowing from the NE for so long before?), with corresponding wind-chill (and light snow, allegedly).

But Sunday is looking, er, different.  Too little, even...  Luckily there's still plenty of time for that to change.

I even mowed the lawn today - first time our bog of a garden has been dry enough since September.

Now I need beer.

In an effort to utilise Murphy's Law to change the weather for the better, I've written some tips for cold weather sailing

Hopefully, doing this should induce a heatwave and make them redundant
Great book for Club Sailors here

First evening race of the year last night, as soon as the sun dipped the temparature plumited. Not suprised we only had a few boats.
I had not worn a dry suite to sail for years, only used it for rib duties but managed to rip the foot putting it on, so back to hikers for Saturday. Not looking forward to that.
