An interesting weekends weather. On Saturday the gusts in the morning were forecast at 40mph+ and the afternoon was 30mph+. Six boats went out in the afternoon for a general sail and although they all left the shore fully reefed and with little jibs it soon became apartment that the gusts were not as bad as expected and most shock out their reefs and opted for full mains whilst on the water.
A great meal in the evening at the Sun inn in Bassenthwaite.
Then Sunday morning arrived with a mirror finish to the lake and not a breath of wind, having talked to the local sailors they suggested it might come in around 1pm but the club races were cancelled. So in the afternoon ten tinkers went out for two races in light winds.
The plan for tomorrow morning is a cruise down the lake and back and then either free sailing or pack up.
Looking forward toi seeing everyone at Swarkestone in October.
