We had a good fleet of IOMs on Sunday. We had nine put their names down in WhatsApp, and possibly eight or seven in attendance. And Boy… did it blow!! We went out on B Rigs and later moved to C Rigs.

The club was bustling with an inter-university team race championship so there were firefly dinghies zooming all over the place. At 11am the proper gusts (40-50mph) were meant to arrive. I happened to be standing on the end of the pontoon when the first squall arrived – practically blew me off my feet. The Club lifejacket rule makes sense!

As the students came in, so do did our B rigged fleet. We all huddled in the clubhouse, then suddenly Craig, Nigel and Dorian fancied a C rig outing and off they went. Immense fun to watch.
