"Wednesday 25th June 2014"

More light winds , but not as bad as this photo. Its Bassenthwaite and I think 1966 . It was a good Wednesday night sail , a light breeze but it was steady and we completed the 4 laps which were set . As a rule the races are under an hour , but tonight it was 1 hr 6 min as we started the last lap . It was a risky decision from the O.O.D but with plenty of daylight left and no sign of the wind dropping it was a good call . Get it wrong and you will get some serious earache . I was sailing with Jo-Anna and the course had 3 beats and 3 spinnaker legs so we got in some serious spinnaker practice, and tried to improve our roll tacks. I have to admit I am ready for a bit of a blow now , but checking the weather forecast , I could be in for a wait .

           Would you like to race this round the world single handed ?
