Winter

The darkest days of winter are upon us again and this winter shows every sign of being as depressing as the last. I did manage to sail at Dorchester yesterday. I took part in an ice breaker race which meant that we had to, quite literally, break the ice before we sailed. Sailing was excellent fun. Trying to navigate the course whilst dodging the ice that drifted into different areas on each lap was a challenge. I sailed my Lightning rather than the Gull as "aurora" is at Branfibre near Banbury having a new thwart built. More about that in a future post. So, very little Gull sailing at the moment. If you have sailed your boat and would like to tell us what you've been up to then please contact me at the usual email.
