Got up this morning to drizzle, which kept up until well into the first race. We had a committee boat start line today, which meant an early start, then motoring for an hour out to near Portsmouth for the start. Unfortunately the large job got caught in the track on the hoist just before the start and had to be cut free, meaning we didn't have the most powerful sail for the race, and only just made the start line for the gun. But we ended up getting a reasonable start, holding 3rd place behind Loveshack and Beachwood homes for the whole race. 3rd over the line and 3rd on corrected time behind Beachwood Homes and Loveshack left us with 2nd overall so far behind Loveshack with 4 points. Two sails are with the sailmakers overnight, (jib and a broken luff line on the main sheet) but weather should be better for tomorrow hopefully.

Wet & Windy, you must have had the wind coming off the channel. Some exciting racing I hope. Here at Herne Bay it was very gusty and very lumpy sea, south west wind off the land. Some big black clouds kept coming in from Whitstable. Managed a 2nd place in the afternoons racing, so the Goviers up keep up standards! keep up with the placings at the front and I might be in the money at the end of the week. Enjoy the rest of the week. Dad
