Dinghy Show??

Ah, my mistake. No you missed out on the champagne next door when they Christened Thunder Road the boat, some woman/girl came and unveiled it and they all started jumping around, taking pictures, I guess she was some sort of sailing sleb, and we were about to wander off when that unmistakeable sound that cannot be ignored in any circumstance ever, occurred, the pop of a champagne cork. It then started to get messy, not very good at actually getting the contents of the bottle into their faces Finn sailors, at least it didn't look that way with their full frontal foaming shirts..

I liked the Finn!  I loved the OK, and I liked the red moth.  I also liked the deck of the kestrel and the osprey, though whether I'd be so keen in bright sunlight is another matter.  I met lovely Russ on the D1 stand and talked about a test sail.  I met up with all my fellow wood botherers and set the world to rights.

Same old same old really, but good fun.  The best bit is without doubt meeting up with all my old sailing mates, though nowadays we tend to compare injuries rather than results..
