So summer is on its way....

This weekend we were spoilt by Emsworth Slipper sailing club (what a fantastic place) with 17-20knts and blazing sun.  I think everyone came off the water with a massive grin, even me who had a nasty gash from a port/starboard incident.  Really was champaign sailing and a proper way to start a summer of open meetings.  Its really got my sailing juices flowing again.  So I thought i would ask, what are other people planning on doing this summer?

For me, I have a full sailing calender.  With Nationals, opens and the Lord Birkett.  Coupled with some long distance MTB rides and a few sportives chucked in to boot.  I cant bloody wait!!!!!

On a more positive front, a large project based in Cornwall might be coming into a new phase in June.... the timing is great as there was little incentive to load up the roof when we working there in the depths of winter and GMT.  And secondly my new windsurf race sail arrived this week.... just in time to go along tonight and see how well I can do standing up against those sitting down.   

But please, no accusations of Grumpfism.  I don't expect any claims of superiority by tomorrow morning- just getting around a course will be a miracle, and worrying about how well I did against whatever handicap is applied is rather a moot point when each gybe has a 30% failure risk.
