Water Level Rising!!

Sunday 24th November :

The water has started to be pumped back in this week! Reservoir Maintenance must be complete – hurrah!!

The North Beach is now submerged, and in the photo you can see the north steps reach the water now.

It was blowing Storm Bert today – 60mph gusts. Blimey, so strong only the windsurfers were out.

On the upside, we had a great group of radio sailing members arrive for bacon rolls and coffee. Very sociable! Nigel was here to regale us to stories from the IOM World Championship in Australia. Fantastic! Learned a lot….

Sunday Club Racing – 4th August

Despite a breezy Saturday and a breezy Monday, Sunday morning itself was a pretty glassy view!! Many coffees were drunk and it was extremely sociable, I must say….but we didn’t race. As usual, the talk was of sailing, sailing, sailing!!

Craig and Nigel were undeterred. To get Nigel tuned up for the IOM Worlds in Gladstone, Australia, our super-heroes spent hours and hours out on the water chasing the breeze, practising manoeuvres and testing the state of tune. It was extremely interesting to see them in action.
