A short report by Keith below  many thanks mate ,,,,    as I remember the forecast scared a lot of people to death.

Keith did the main OOD assisted by Mick Ch and a few , Mick was going on his Hols so did not sail .

Fantastic days sailing. Wind top of B suit & no rain, shame only 5 turned up. Half way through the morning we stopped for coffee& a piece of Micks & Gordons birthday cake. Keith did a good job of rescuing buoys that had been blown on to the bank the previous weekend& setting a good course along the east bank. Chris E did well in the challenging conditions & came out on top followed closely by Rob Wilson. For those not used to the conditions there was plenty of help & advice. A good days sailing.
