Keel boat week

Well now what can I say..... It never happened for the SB3 we set off to race from the beech in a force 4 and by the time we had cleared the sand barrier we had some nice holes in the keel, great! The wind was now up at 30 knots so we went for a mooring, didn't know where ours was so grasped one and asked for help only to get a lecture about how we couldn't stay there but not told were we could go from the assistant bosen, thanks!

   We finally got towed to the right mooring after an hour wait! And headed home for a nice hot shower!! The wind increased to 35 knots over night and the boats on the beech didn't last! so we took the SB3 off the water and headed home, after a rather nice meal at Dave Bradley's which was awesome!!

So not such a good event roll on the worlds!!

A little up date.........

   Things have been a little slow for me, but I am now safely into a healthier life style. I now do 20 min's on the stepper followed by some sit ups, stomach crunches, and press ups. That all takes place in the morning. I have now reduced my drinking down aswell, trying for no mid-week drinking and only on the weekends.

     On a side note I am sailing a lot more now, which is good and I think dad is trying to improve his fitness aswell. I am however spending a lot more of my time web site designing which is good but it takes some of my concentration away from sailing, but I am enjoying my life at this junction. I have moved back to Cheshire now and I am looking at a career as a web site designer/developer, maybe freelance,  but with a large amount of sailing thrown in.

Anyway play safe
