The Friday fleet competition is hotting up (unlike todays weather!) as we welcomed David (74) to Bury Lake. Just for a change , there was a light to middling wind from a reasonable direction meaning a goodish triangular course was…
Good to have Trevor back on the water after his other-side-of the world trip‘. Another ‘not the best of winds’ day again. Some races had a goodish wind, others light and patchy at best. Nevertheless, we managed a triangular course,…
Another so-so wind. Sometimes quite steady for a race or so. Then variable for a race or so. We did manage a triangular course of reasonable length so (!) it wasn’t so (!!!!) bad. A couple of ‘old friends’ on…
Enough of a north westerly-ish wind to give us some good long beats up to #3 from a 7 / 8 (then A / 5) start, then back via #2 to 8 (later, A) with a blues finish (sometimes 2/3).…

Another north-easterly – low to mid strength meant another longish course was possible: 1 / 2 , 6 (sometimes 5) 3,2, sometimes round again, finish A/ 5. Some close racing and, I think, some close sailing (that is tangles!) as…
