Always have a plan B

So, last weekend I had work committments that ruled out being on the water, what could we do this weekend?

As predicted, a high pressure system arrived UK, and as before, it brought 'not a lot of wind'.

Conditions were almost ideal; sun, reasonable temperature, etc, just no wind.

I did go and have a polish of the Gull's hull, around a couple of scratches I noticed. Which gave me a chance to loiter around the sailing club for a while. I did have to finally accept that it just wasn't going to happen. There were some fingers of wind to be seen on the water, but in fairness to the duty crew, I decided to give it a miss - didn't stop some troublemaker with a windsurfer getting his kit out though.

So, what else can you do on a Saturday afternoon with otherwise good weather?

Triumph Bonneville 865cc

Riding my Triumph Bonneville around Somerset for a couple of hours is a reasonable plan B.


Next Saturday, of course, there's the RYA Dinghy Show in London - fingers cross for Sunday's weather.
