www.sailbrightlingsea.com is the new web site for Brightlingsea Sailing Club, anyone coming to the club for the Merlin Open will be able to look up accommodation etc and maybe soon down load our open meeting notice of race. It only started on Wednesday so more information will be added in the coming weeks. |
Check out the live weather station at www.sailbrightlingsea.com great for anyone who sails on the East coast. |
More and more clubs are getting these weather feeds now. Very useful. Someone needs to invent a text-back service for mobiles.... http://www.sailbrightlingsea.com/live-weather.asp |
Well done to David and Celia, newest Merlin sailors at Brightlingsea, went out for the first time today they have signed up for the training at Rutland maybe it should be us instead of them! |
Who done the winning? |
Dave and Celia - Craig and Jayne had problems with the spinnaker but didn't catch anything!! |
We had fish for supper!! Can't wait until Saturday to do battle again. Both Jayne and I ache this morning! |
Was the spinny trawling the cause of, or the effect from, D&C winning? |
Both I think, coming into Mersea Wreck and trying to stop Dave getting an over lap, left it to late taking the Spinnaker down..........the rest is history. How do you undo sheets from a spinnaker when under the boat and the wife's hands are cold! (Calling her an old bag did not help) |
Throw her over and tell her to get on with it, then again that didn't work for me!!! New crew coming on nicely although a few hairy moments on sunday with a lifting rudder doing its job on the run with the kite up, also realised that without Laura in the front end to point me in the right direction I get lost very easily, suggested shore to ship radio contact. |
Craig buy her some washing gloves tastefully gift wrapped of course! |
Flopy Toppy ship to shore not allowed. |
thats why I said shore to ship, or more likely boss to slave (I'm safe as Laura does not read this) |
