Apparently the sailing adventure isnt over just yet, it is only just beginning...or something. Just a couple of teeny tiny races booked in for this year so far:
Gosport Marine Festival - Charity Pursuit, an all day event of which I reckon needs to be done in fancy dress, Pirates anyone?
Round the Island Race 2016 - looks absolutely terrifying but for some reaosn I cant bloody wait.....this one is a full on 12 hour race and will be our most challenging yet.
This year skipper wants to mix things up a bit on board This time round instead of "bumping and grinding", I will be in charge of the main as the "Main Sail Trimmer" hopefully this will give me a better understanding of wind directions and it's influence on the boats performance. Sadly it means I dont get to be part of the banter on the side of the boat but it does mean I can sunbathe at the back and relax with a bottle of beer (apparently) ;-).
So here's to some more fun days out sailing....I MUST BE MAD.......!
"POLE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
