August Series - going well


We're really enjoying the WSC August series at the moment (sailed on monday and thursday evenings). Although we've no chance of winning it, we're snapping at the heels of those that can.

Last night was gusting 30+ knots and we were the only boat in Q class to fly a kite, exhilirating! Chapeau to La Salmo in W class for doing the same. I know we keep saying it but keeping to white sails downwind on Farr Out just can't happen; for one it wrecks the upwind sails when you wrap them around the forestay and we certainly need a lot of wind to get her planing - that's when the fun is.

Due to the beer deficit on board at the moment, we finally managed to clear the Pimms pre-mix left over from the Round the Island.
