It is currently blowing force 7 to 9 in the channel so there will be no sailing for us.

Time to light the log fire, cook a roast and think about ordering that new boat.....

after last nights antics and a 5 oclock bed time (in an extreamly drunken state) i awoke today with the refreshing thourgt of going windsurfing (whilst tryin to convince myself i will feel better for it later on. i got to the club early afternoon and spotted stu in his new cherub sailing with his brother. apparently he had oly just launched the boat and i hadnt missed much. with an audience on the shore including myself watching stu and his brother showing everyone how to sail. or should i say how to swim around a boat. he must have capsized 20 times in 30minuets sailing. if there was ever an award for most capsizes then stu should have it!! however looked fast when it was going.

 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!  

 

 



Ha ha! Sat or Sun Mark?  I shall come over specially to watch.

Do you think there will be any swearing at all?

You obviously know me and my brother well... yep, probably a bit of swearing lol!

We will be at alton both days! Today seems to be the best forcast for it  as its only forcast 27mph not 35mph forcast on sunday!

 

It will probably be worth a visit lol, a don't forget the camera!
