Finally, some decent weather - Saturday 23rd June 2012

Having not been able to sail for a few weeks, due to work and extreme weather, there was at last some reasonable weather to get afloat with.

As I get to the club, it starts to rain  - great - but it doesn't last long. Quite a stiff breeze as I launch but manageable.

Around the buoys, clockwise, for a couple of hours. Hove to for lunch. Anti-clockwise for another two.

At about 3:25 I reversed for the final time and headed in. Only the wind had virtually disappeared. So, a slow arrival at the hard, derigged and home by 5:30.

Where it had been raining all afternoon - result.

Nice to get back on the water.
