The water was cold and when the sun started to sink lower and was blocked by a cloud the air temperature dropped and we came in, but we got a good 45 minutes on the water.
It was lovely to be sailing on the sea again, there is something quite different about the feel from sailing on the inland waters, I think partly because the boat floats higher than on the fresh water but it is more than that.
So we practiced some tacking (need a lot more work on this), a few gybes, rounding up on a mark and just sailing up wind. Altogether a pleasent sail.
Just as we were lauching this fella on the beach was taking pictures and I asked him to email some to me and I gave him my email address to memorise and I was pleasenly suprised that Martin (that's the fella's name) emailed some lovely shots through. Cheers Martin!

Oh well, no more sailing until 22nd but by then there should be others to race against.

Well done. Always grab those extra hours on the water when you can.
Fantastic. I wish it would stop raining where I live.
Wow, she looks really beautiful now you've got her out on the water. That's some awesome photos there
