Seeing, via the internet Y&Y forum, we are invited to Carsington on the 8th September for their Charity regatta.
It is a great place to sail and we have good vibes from previous visits. Not sure yet if its a weekend thing as I have not researched it. A bit late notice but Joe and I will try to make it.

Norfolk has been shipshape since August!  The next 2 weekends I'll be in Japan so they are a no go.  Then we'll be going to the sticky weekend after that....

Thanks Ade...Jenny is improving but no diagnosis as yet. We hope to have her home soon.

Yes, my grandson does have a wetsuit...for the swimming pool where I will be going swimming with the yummy mummies

Great day out at Draycote yesterday. It is a brill piece of water. It is now the home base for Sweet Dreamzzz as we have taken up winter membership there.  Digby sailed with Joe and guess what, it is still in 1 piece. Not good for Digbys reputation but I guess my mods are strong enough now! Jamie was out blasting in a 14 and a B14 laser vago and 800 were also out.
Hopefully I can talk Sam and Nigel into a Draycote frame of mind soon...

Hopefully I have cracked Loco's kite hoist problems today, which is THE major issue holding us back and creating despondency in the Mad Dog's kennel. Tom and I thought we'd sorted it out after Weymouth but it actually got worse! The system seemed to have too many blocks in it and I think it was to avoid rope fouling the end of the pole. Simon Jones and I looked at it at the Inlands and we came to some conclusions there. Thanks Simon - top man as ever.

I have simplified it and moved the (now solitary) block back and well away from the pole end as it comes in.

Itching to try it out...
