Tough day at the Canal. It was also very lonely without the amphibian. Not too much wind when I got there so set up the A rig only to find that the mast stub and main boom were locked together – new bearings required I suspect. I then set up the B rig and that seemed to encourage the wind. It got a bit blustery and my rig was not set up as well as it should be. Boat flew in the gusts but was a bit difficult to control.
Only cost today was a lost pair of sunglasses off the end of the pontoon. It happens!
Get better soon Kerm.
Numbers were a bit light today but the sailing was hot. The was sufficient breeze to run a number of races and the pink sailed 65 again dominated.
Sorry for your loss Kermit.
I am tied up doing family stuff today, but I will miss your sailing lessons.
I had a good hour of sailing but then the wind died and I struggled to get the boat back to the pontoon. With Kermit away I was a clear winner in the races – think “King of the Canal”.
Well I will be a bit lonely, but then again I might get to win a couple of races so It won’t be all bad.
Ok, confession time. As Kermit had the day off it was left up to me to run aground – well in to the weeds really!!
I great day of fun in the sun. Conditions were a little variable making it possible to go from zero to hero in a split second, and back to zero even quicker. A great bunch of sailors and a well organised event. I will be back for the next one.
