You know that we don’t normally sail in the rain, but this time, we did.
It wasn’t raining when we set out, but we got hit before we put the boats away, by a lovely, warm still shower, exciting everyone, because we are not normally allowed to play in the rain. On top of the rain, the water was absolutely still, hardly even a ripple to disturb the surface. That is why we made such good use of Charlie’s Chariot, using it as a tow boat to get everyone home.
On top of all this, we had 7 most delightful new helpers; Cathy, Joanne, Isabela, Nati, Amir, Taylor and Lyn, who, along with Denis, David, Helen, Tony, Ralph, Jerome, Jack, Gail, Ivan, Ros, Ray, Ralph, Steve, Vince, Nicole and Jannie took a small number of participant sailors for a sail.
