a new pass-time...

so this is the boat i slid out of on Bank Holiday Monday... (it was v gusty and i was steering!!) certainly took my breath away and I ached for days afterwards because i've no upper body strength for hauling myself back in!




and this is where me and two colleagues puttered round the resevoir in very light winds... and i gave them a few scares by turning the boat in the wrong direction when tacking!! (oh the joy of being a learner...) I think it's good for me, because i'm a physical coward most of the time and hate looking foolish - so there's plenty of scope for challenging both whilst sailing!!
