29th December 2015 first sail /last sail

7am start to Swanage and a diversion later the heavens opened on my arrival. a cup of tea later and i took the old tramp cover off which was acting like a swimming pool. Richard arrived and we then replaced about 6 tramp clips to tension the trampoline . we eventually launched into bright sunshine around 11.30am
Ben was out on his laser as well.
the swell was deceiving from the shore  but on the sea was quite a bit. the gusts came in fits and starts. we stayed close to the shore to avoid bigger waves further out.
after about an hour of some enjoyable sailing we headed in when it started to rain again
it was still sunny as well.
new tramp cover put on and boat tucked away for the new year
3.5 miles 49 minutes
max speed was 15.4 knts
