Well.....there hasn't been much. Although I was delighted to see that the snow was beginning to melt on my way into work this morning. Obviously there hasn't been much sailing but there has been a lot of "virtual" activity. The mailing list is nearly into triple figures and this blog has regular visits by sailing enthusiasts from every continent. I greatly appreciate the compliments and as always I'm very keen to find out what you've all been doing. For example, below is an email from Lee Finch who has been sailing his beautiful, I think you will agree, mark IIIa on Langstone Harbour. What a lucky man to have such wonderful cruising waters on his doorstep. Anyway, if you're currently enjoying a Christmas dram by the fire, be sure and toast to the day we can meet for a sail in the spring. Perhaps another trip to Rutland might help us work off the seasonal excess.
Hi Chris,
sorry for the delayed reaction in sending you these attached photos, but your recent e-mail reminded me. They were taken way back when the weather was still fine, and show my youngest son Liam and I sailing my latest mk3a 'Alacrity' in our usual spot in Langstone Harbour Portsmouth. The wind was gusting to Force 5 on that day, but due to the protection of the land around the bay, the sea state always remains calm, unless the wind is from the North.
Looking forward to better weather,
Happy new year,
Lee Finch
