17th JAN 2010 FIRST SAIL

today i finally managed to get own to swanage and get out on mutly. the road was a bit slippy near bere regis after i almost came to grief with the back end sliding out and then back the opposite way, luckily recovered it but a close call.
today i met with richard for the first time and found him very pleasant and keen.
after showing him the ropes and a few things on the boat we launched, the weather was sunny and wind about 10 knts. about 5 cats turned out all dart 18's. mike cemm, greg& mike , mark & desney
martin and louise and ourselves.
we basically went around marks in the bay all starting together, it was all informal and i wasnt really sure where we were going. it was a good time for me to get rich upto speed and he did really well. i dont think we will have any problems for the season, lots of fine tunning will help us gel to gether very well.
the 2010 season has been messed up already thanks to work. this year it looks as i might have to do the thursday series only and see what luck comes my way with the rest due to a job change and rostered shift hours at work.
hey ho never mind, i have a plan b but that may take till mid season to work if at all.
