then into swanage for the TGIF group
gary mike and mark all decided to go solo on the 18s so we launched and found it quite gusty and the waves building. gary went over first and spent ages trying to get the boat upright. we circled him making sure he was ok. when the other 3 regrouped they were reaching down towards the far end of the bay and next mike went over. then i seen him on garys boat and he was dropped off , it was ages again with no sign of the boat coming upright. some of the double handed monos even helped.
i sailed into the club and saw gary richardson about to launch i said i think we need the rescue boat for mike. we launched and got mike back to shore eventually. he had broken his harness and tiller extension whilst trapezing .
with the same forecast for saturday i made my way home rather than stay overnight.
an entertaining sail for the 2nd of the season.
