Everything was ready for a fantastic evening of racing, the sun was shining, old stalwarts returned with the welcome arrival of Ursus and Brendas J, both of whom it was fantastic to see back in the line up of 12 boats, with only Jetpack and Crazy Horse absent from the ever growing fleet. Sadly despite Gopher Kicks amazing start, the lords of weather played havoc. Although, observing how they picked their way through the fleet; I suspect the J boats were loving the light airs, after 45 minutes, with a dying wind the fleet was only just laying the windward mark. A turning tide challenged the race committee as concerns grew around Johns food going cold. Following some communication with the fleet to ascertain the conditions and their thoughts, a decision was sadly made to Abandon the race. Fortunately nice and close to home, a fantastic trio of sausages, and a few pints of Hornets finest ale safeguarded the atmosphere.
Whilst we can bring boats and crews, we cant yet control the weather, crews all returned in high spirits, I suspect much spring time sun bathing was had, and Johns food certainly hit the spot.
Opportunities still remain for members to get involved, either with their own boats, or as crew. Do reach out if you wish to take part.
