"Sunday 29th June 2014 "

More light winds again today . I was involved in the training and was out with  Tom  in the club GP. We sailed between two marks , beating then running back . We practiced tacks and gybes for about an hour . Tom did well , the problems came when the wind direction changed , its difficult to get your head round, but the wind direction is seldom constant on an inland water . Being effected by the surrounding hills and obstacles . All part of the fun!! In the afternoon I sailed with Nicola . There was just enough breeze to get round , but it was frustrating . After an initial 20 boats taking to the water only 3 turned out for the last race . We were one of them and miraculously the wind strength increased and we had by far the best sail of the day . Unfortunately the O.O.D set the course for light winds with only 3 laps and it was all over in 20 minutes . Made the day though .
