Big boat Saturday

I went down to the club early Saturday to wire up the electrics on the mast of Nickel Coin. The tails had been taped to the mast while the mast was off. One of the screws for the deck seal was missing, either I had lost it or it had come loose while racing. Into the rubber Dinghy and off to Bussells for a pair of new screws.
I expressed shock that N.C. had metric threads as the Spinner is 40 years old and British built. At this point the shop owner offered to put the 48 pence bill on Norman's account. :+) Well, as I possible had lost the screw I thought it only fair to shoulder the huge cost myself.
Normally I don't sail on a Saturday but I had my pass signed so I was going to make the most of it. Charlotte had decided not to go sailing with me (not surprising after Tuesday) so I was a bit miffed about that. Having finished on Nickel Coin I headed to the club for a drink. I met Len and Don heading the other way. "Would I like to sail on Galliard?" as Mel had gone home and Mark was not yet about N.C. was not going so I said yes. We then met Lyn by the ladder so that was 4, eventually Mark turned up and we had a crew.
We had a good race and the obligatory beer leg. Lyn was flapping as she had to be off the boat by 5 to go on holiday. We made it back it time, after the elder members had a few scoops of Lidl's best Scottish medicine we returned to club to find out we had won out race.
Got home tired but happy. A good day.
