My figures show 10 boats tomorrow!
Eleanor would be 11!!

Happy for you two to stay at mine if needed.
I'd quite like an e6 to be there so we can say 'too challenging for Olympians, but you can do it!'
Thanks
Jamie

Will only be able to make Saturday as plans for Sunday but thanks for the offer. Will bring Eleanor along, if people want to take her out they can.

Make that 12...!  8)

Can't do Sunday (in part due to a chemistry exam on the Monday) but in a (rush)/quick time to get ready (in fact a record time for us), I should be there with Sgt Murphey, soon after 10:00!

Great time today, thanks to Jamie for organising, good to see 12 boats out so early in the season. Special thanks to Rosie for putting up with my rustiness and having a swim or two with me. Say hello to Sophie for me.

What a weekend!
Saturday we had 12 boats lined up in the shore.
Dave and Hayley were burning it up!
Robin unveiled the new look for the banshee ambulance.
Born slippy was to be seen with numerouse people being introduced to the class.

Wind was on and cold! The water want much warmer.

Sunday saw poppy, Ronin and shiny venture out with vetting degrees of success. Shiny's fun came to a prentice end when her ear fell off.

Poppy had some 1st gear issues but 2nd to 5th they were off.
Robin again had some 1st gear troubles but showed the 29ers how downwind pace is searved up.

A big thank you to Draycote for hosting the event.
An even bigger thank you has to be given to joe Thomas for sitting in an rib and freezing he metaphorical balls off all in the aid of taking pictures (to follow with the main page wrote up.)

Roll on this years events.
Thanks
Jamie
