Hello old friend!

So, after a combination of poor weather (to say the least), work and family calamities, we get to go back on the water this weekend.

Not a lot of water in the dinghy and a distinct lack of insects as well - which was nice.

Good grief, did I feel rusty. The gusty wind didn't help to inspire confidence but as I pretty much had the reservoir to myself, at least no one got to witness my hamfisted efforts to circulate the buoys.

I did at least stay dry.

No video's this time, due to my killing the memory card on my camera up a mountain in Italy.

Whoever would have thought that SD cards don't like -20C.


Slightly easier to recover the boat due to the water level being about three feet lower than previously; can get a bit of a run up the slipway. That would be the nicely slime free slipway.
