on the water 1015 and met alan and john returning saying the wind was getting up.
after a brief meander in the bay i decided to just look around the corner off ballard to see what it was like and then decided go for it.
halfway along i was becalmed and headed out to sea slowly to be greeted by a good breeze , which took me past old harry and hurtling toward pool bar and then all the way back to old harry again.
after that it was ok but the tide was against me on one of the tacks.
made it back in good time , not sure which headcam or bow cam turned off but found out that it was the one i thought had tuned off in actual fact was filming, but did run out in swanage bay.
it was very sunny and hot and comming into the beach i jumped off the boat to find it was deeper than i thought. i just managed to touch the bottom and get the boat in. close thing
the rest of the day was spent eating fish cake and chips then 3 pints from 3 different pubs back to the club. a few photo sessions later and then a very later spag bol in the van i was ready for sleep.
the forecast for saturday was 8mph which may pick up later . i woke and decided nah, not for me
it was le mans on tv for the weekend so i got home ready to start the usual marathon tv watch .
