Some Silverware

The very very tiny cup on the left was hard fought over 6 races in up to 43mph gusts during November and December, the larger cup was for best novice for the whole season (not sure about that) and centrally placed, my biggest achievement to date. Only possible with Jane's and Will's help, except the middle award which I did all on my own.

Plain Sailing


Outside the normal cycling, refreshments and surfing subjects, but it is sport based.
Unfortunately it is not the full story, it may look impressive, until you see how many finishers there actually were.
Also what it does not show is that severe weather (recorded 42 knots at DYC), was enough to cause most to retire or not leave the sofa.
It was a result of determination and swimming (or stupidity and total disregard for the equipment)
Due to a clerical and a complete lack of actual finishers you may notice we also came 7th with one result!
