Did you get out today? What you in, how'd u do?

   Couple of years ago we broke the ice, finished up with twenty acres of thin ice blown against the jetty, layered to over a foot deep. Sailing abandoned.

	We got a couple of races in, was last in the first and 1st in the last, light Northerlys, Lasers, Solution and me in the Hybrid Fireblade thing which only perked up once I'd slackened the shrouds a tad and the wind picked up a notch, pretty Baltic, but the tide's in at the lake more than I've ever seen it in the twenty odd recent years. Not so many of us old Redoubt S.C. guard left but it was encouraging to see an increasing no of Topper kids and some cruisers from another club that have joined us out and about.

	Last week gusting 35mph, This week nothing 0mph, the only ripples on the water were because of the ducks. I ran the rescue boat round the island to break the ice, just in case some wind would turn up.. Sailing abandoned.
	Still sailing in circles

	I got out a few times training and then also at the Grafham GP as well as the Bloody Mary - managed to finish 35th out of 146 boats entered on a blustery windswept course. Its also one of my favourite times of the year to sail if only to catch up with so many friends at these large handicap events and have a natter both on and off the water!

	I have to say I love sailing at this time of year . I managed to start both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year for the first time in well over a decade. Enjoyed both but for different reasons . Who else managed to get some sailing in over the holiday period? 😀

	Went along to the Grafham GP event on Monday 2nd Jan, great to see 109 boats entered for three races back-to-back under blue skies and a steady 8 knots of breeze! Had great fun catching up with lots of friends both on and off the water.

	423zero . I see and understand. The best of Clubs are so much than than a club house and facilities . We have been at our current club for so long because of the warmth of people, sometimes if people leave so does that warm feeling . Edited by Dakota - 13 Dec 22 at 5:35pm

	Most of my clique have either died or moved on, quite a few posters over the years have expressed concerns about cliques and new members, I have always sniffed at it, now I know it does have a effect. I will probably join another club next year. No acrimony though, could go back if I wanted.
