Summer 5

crew was alan induni.
all i can say is i hate the summer series, nothings going right at all. today we launched and proptly capsized with a gust which put us over like a ten pin, had no chance what so ever. i was perched on the top hull dangling and alan was trapped in the rigging at about mast level, when he untangled himself he swamaround to the bow and then couldnt swim toward me because of the tide, then couldnt climb up either. i helped and then we preceded to check the boat that nothing was still cleated. we then had to get the bows head towind. it dint happen at all, bothe were on the bow and the bow was under waterby a foot so should have swung around. swan 3 came over to help, lets say no more about that or this page will be full of swearing. sorry clive not your fault at all, thanks for your efforts.
swan 4 came over and got the job done with in minutes. by that time me and alan didnt have the strenght to haul ourselves abourd the boat. i swam under the tramp and got on from the rear as it was lower in the water. alan did the same and got the boat under control, with that we sailed in. With arms aching like whey were it would have been stupid to have carried on.
we live to fight another day. only my 2nd capsize on mutley probably not the last either!!
