It's Thursday. You're sat at your desk - its hot outside and you're thinking about
sailing, big skies, big seas, 12 - 18 knots of wind over the perfect
waves at the perfect downwind angle.
In your head you're dreaming of surfing past Howard or Rickard or
maybe even Ainslie?
A noise from the HR person at the door reminding you of this
afternoon's meeting brings you back to reality but something, in the
back of your mind, makes you look at your diary.
What is it? The early week jobs are done and ticked-off, the Boss is
away so that big report can wait but there's something you've
forgotten? It niggles - wedding anniversary? Nope, that was May.
The kid's or the other half's birthdays? Nope - all done or the in the
autumn.
Your mind drifts back to the boat again - the waves, the speed, that
feeling of being at one with your boat, the wind and the waves, the
fun and then, it hits you!
Of course, I need to enter the Lee on Solent SC Finn and Phantom Open!
25th & 26th July - that's the weekend after next - better get the entry done!
You go straight to the club website, click on the link and fill out
the entry form.
Done. easy, you're sorted! What a relief! Already the day feels
lighter, less stressful with something to look forward to - probably
the best sea sailing on the south coast! You're even now thinking
about training on the Friday afternoon to make a full weekend of it.
Camping next to the club, park and play - Training with some of the best
on Friday, a night in the town with the most social sailors on the
planet followed by two days of classic sea racing in the best class in
the world!
Don't be at risk of suffering FOMO - GET IT DONE - ENTER NOW - You
know it makes sense!
