SPUD & DAVE MUTLEY 15
GENERAL SAILING

well not a good start to the day when i found a flat tyre on the launch trolley.
then no cup race at all, dave showed for 11am and we headed out expecting a slow sail.
weather for the cup race would have been dreadfull, we tried making our way to ballard and old harry but could see it would have been very slow. broad reaching was best toward pevril direction. and also beating back. we sailed for 1h 30 approx, to say there was no wind was untrue, at one time we healed over to the point of going over. dave then decided the wire was best from now on.
only rolo was at at this time and then bruce followed. we headed back in pleased with the sail we had. a few pints and a nice meal in the white horse followed. a fantastic day for october, it was cold over night and foggy.
