It has to be said that this year was an interesting trip, the first hour was against the tide with very little wind, we stuck with it and the wind picked up. Twin wirring downwind making up for lost time about half a mile off shore with 20 ish boats inside us, when we stopped very suddenly and disapered round the bow. How strange to be that far out and not even waist deep in water! (Told the rescue boat to stay away as too shallow) Minor damage to board so thought we'd carry on, wind continude to fill which made it difficult to get the kite up in the swale however once past the bridge we caught and past a lot of boats using the tried and tested method (two wires + large kite divided by light crew= big grins) We ended up not quite as well as hoped with a 30th out of 130. There's always next year!
