first sail of 2020

 traveled with ERL 2007 to Bala to meet Stuart Round and do a race or two.

After 2 hours or less traveling thru rain as usual i arrived at Bala and started rigging as much as i could before stuart arrived.

with only the mast to put up when stuart arrived we were good to go, jib was on at last and we could furl it , first time ever for ERL with me.

wind was light, we ambled along and had a good chat, we viewed the other 3 boat dissappear into the distance , 2 laps later we finished , we went in for a break missing race 2.  abit more work on the furling line and we were ready for race 3  however it poured with rain and we decided not to go

overall we were happy to have sailed our first race as a team and look forward to more in the remaining weeks of the season
