Odd week

Monday
Dinghies were canceled much to my disgust. Lets not get into club politics and the them and us stuff.

Wednesday
Took the kids from Portland and Weymouth Housing Association for the last sail that was agreed to take place after they bought us a training dinghy.
I took Jack for a plod around the bay. We played with the spinnaker nad had a good race home.

Thursday
More wind than Monday but not cancelled :+)
I rigged a Feva for a single handed race. I was a bit daunted at the conditions but I was up for a sail. (New bloke) Simon brought his dinghy to the club this week so when Tim saw a new Osprey he wanted to race it with his one.

Well I gave the rigged Feva to Martin and his son James (or Tom, old joke) and I crewed for Tim. Now I have never trapezed before and it was a gusty old night. OK a steady run down the river with Tim doing an information over load on what to do.... We got to the start with 2 minutes to spare, Just like Tim !

Well I didn't do too badly thanks to Tim's expert boat handling. We had a few moments mostly due to me. But I thoroughly enjoyed it 18 gusting to 24 knots with huge hole in the wind in and out on the wire. My instinctive reactions to boat movements working to our advantage. Tim was pleased that I didn't do too badly and we won the race.

It was a great sail. Thanks Tim !
