I was a glorious day today for the start of winter, after a very cold & wet week the rain & wind stopped and the sun came out. We actually managed 17 deg today which was great especially giving that the rest of the week didn’t get much above 10 deg.
There was another good turnout today with Moose, Dave, Col, Kermit, Ross & yours truly all sailing & Ron B dropping in for some moral support whilst on his way to his nephews place to pick up yet another Mt Gay 30 for restoration. Seeing how well mine sailed a couple of weeks ago jogged Ron’s memory about a couple of Mt Gay’s (both a bit worse for wear) laying in a container @ his nephews & Ron, being a bit like me and never missing an opportunity to salvage an old RC yacht, thought he had better go and get one to rebuild.
I’m sure we will see it on the water in the near future.
Ross had his magnificent looking Angel out again today, 3rd week in a row. The poor thing, being the only Chinese Shunbo brand RC yacht still sailing down this way , must wonder what has happened after being packed away for over 12 months.
Moose had the Focus 2 out again as well so the 65’s & 95’s have been getting sidelined a bit at least @ the Canal, they do of course both get sailed on alternate Tuesdays @ Puddleduck so all is not lost for the Plastic Fantastics.

THE music was perfect for today’s video the reflection on the water of the yachts was indeed a interesting sight as was Mooose turning up to sail although under the tutoring of the master mariner Kermit la frog he did manage several groundings an several near misses but it was done with a smile …………others not his dear o’l Ron was missed today he’s always the one to race against because you can always beat him so if your feeling down race him that will make ya better works for me LONG TALL was participating in the days fun with his black sails scaring our favourite pelican from one end of the canal to the other such a shame we only see them rarely now a days big bullie BIG BAD DAVE came for a sail and a bash and a BBQ it was indeed a fine sight to see the yellow terror sail through the fleet making others swerve out of his way nothing but nothing stops the yellow terror in its quest for clear water ……… his eyes tighten….. saliva runs down his chin from his slightly open lips indeed a frighting sight is our Dave an then there was Predator as his name implies he can and did spin a few boats around with his stern attack with superb skill he sent two boats aground others were scattered its well worth watching then its a quite low giggle and a sorry ya can’t go crook at the little fella with that giggle who else ohhhh yea bad angel with his very pretty blue an yellow Chinese sumo yacht an he did wrestle with it wobbling from side to side not knowing which side of the canal to beach its self on… in the end it was both sides lastly me I sail’d with finesse as always an that was a true recollection of todays sailing so help me god
