Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

This past Sunday (20th) there were the usual regulars at the pond mainly the yachtsmen,

It was a nice sunny day but deceptive with a sharp cold wind, still that's what the yachtsmen want isn't it!, the wind not the cold though!.

One Metre racing.

 

There was a couple of motorised boats there,

 

Eddie's new modern Navy boat.

and Jeff's freighter.

Well, only one more Sunday outing for the club and that's the Frostbite Sail on the (27th) the day after Boxing Day, so hope to see a few boats on the water, as in the past few years don't think we will have to break the ice this year, must be something in this global warming hey!.

If you are at the lake over the Christmas/New Year period here is the opening times for the Lake Cafe, unless your better halves are still giving you leftover turkey sandwiches!.

  

After the council stating earlier in October that they wouldn't be putting any more money into the park, they seem to have changed their minds and the quiet of the park as been scattered this past week with the sound of chainsaws as they have been thinning out the bushes and undergrowth along the paths round the lakes, and though it looks a bit bald at the moment it will settle down I'm sure!.

Well that's it for now, hope to get a few more pictures on Frostbite day, if not I'm sure Mike's hot soup and mince pies will make up for it and I can always get some pictures indoors hey!.
