Got my Banshee wet today.... quite a few little things to sort.... mostly bits of elastic to stop rope getting tangled and easier rigging stuff. Quite happy though. Must say it was all a bit freaky getting back in one of these things after 5 years off.

Looking good Daryl, will you be converting it into a cherub and taking it to the nationals, I know Dan is going so it would be great to have the 3 banshees together in one place, red white and blue, I smell a photo opportunity !

Thanks guys.... Nationals, maybe?

Me and Luke are off to Minorca Sailing next half term for some solid breeze and twin wire time. Burghfield S.C isn't the best to ween Luke into twin trapezing... or in fact me! ( it's been awhile!). We will be looking at the single wire option soon though. After I have sorted all the bit's that you don't realize you needed to sort until you go sailing and they instantly get wrapped around something you'd never have thought about! Oh and getting the board to go all the way into the slot!

Sorry no more outings yet. Weather, Work and Willingness have got in the way. In truth I have been doing the bimberling I needed to do before it went out the first time. Like sanding the board down so it fits! And cutting and splicing etc... ( I need to get my order in for some trap stuff ) I will report when we are out again. My old man is being carted around in real Ambulances at the moment so this may curtail things in the short term as well, depending on outcomes.
