Weekend sailing 18th-19th August 2012

Saturday at the lake took these pictures, Nice sunny day, not much of a breeze but enough for John of RJR Blog Fame (My Boy) to try out his yachting with the Robbe Comtess'e I've handed over the captaincy of.
Tacking

Caught the duck nicely as well, the photo not the boat!
And that's two of the ladies in his life in the back ground.
Daughter Ruth (14) there into photography see her blog at



Then there was John (the dasher) Goddard with one of his fast boat and Colin Harrison struggling in the back ground with his "J" class and not much wind!.
Velda always said she didn't mind John dashing about with his fast boats because he knew what he was doing.
I had my Wyeforce tug out and it still performed well after 18months lay off.

Sunday was a different story with the rain coming down quite heavy and the steering comp was run but not as good an occasion as usual.
I've tied the roses back in the garden, but after not being pruned last year have become a bit of a bind, catching people passing, I don't know who put them in, but passed their sell by date now, so if nobody objects I will cut them right back or even have them out when they stop flowering!.
Have sorted the woods on the front of the landing stage as well, only used cable tidies so don't know how long they will last!
So the day not an entire waste.
Well that's all folks.
Happy sailing.
