perfect- plenty of time to pick up a pasty and sit back and relax waiting for Race 4... where a childhood dream of sailing a Finn shall be realised (and Grumpf will get his ass handed to him (again) this time by someone who hasn't done a competitive race in a dinghy since the Stevie Nicks in 2011)

Allow me to tell you the tale of PM's 'lucky' gloves, a while back now he was going through one of his pre menopausal hissy fits about dinghy sailing, I was swapping some kit with him, can't even remember what it was now, but our combined change in value judgements meant that the kit we swapped was worth more to each other than that which we owned. PM obviously was stricken with such guilt at his depreciated assessment of worth of what was to my mind already more than a fair swap, he decided to empty the contents of his dinghy locker into the box he shipped to me.

Me, ever the child with a cardboard box, takes it home and eagerly opens it in the presence of the bread knife and daughters of darkness, whereupon all their assumptions of the I.Q.'s and mental health of those that I regularly spend time conversing by keyboard with (allegedly more than the time I spend with them) came true.

The Frey Bentos tinned pie first raised their interest, 'Old Fat guy is he then?' 'no he's quite young actually and quite bright' said I defensively blurring the truth. "What's this then? a pair of washing up gloves with 'Love and Hate' inscribed on the knuckles...' I got my coat and went out.

and finally


Enough to simulate a 'hurricane' I wasn't thinking of using it for the racing, more to simulate a hurricane in the campsite later in the evening.
