Today dawned bright and sunny, with not much wind… this was the theme of the weather for the day….

In the morning we had a play witn the cruising chute…a type of asymetric spinnaker made of light cloth to go fast downwind in light winds… just because really…..

The afternoon was the end of season race… a truly insane startline with far too many boats far to close together.

Once again we worked hard all afternoon in order to fail to win a prize of any kind….. except we did manage to beat Knight Odyssey’s indentical twin, Knight Star, which was being helmed by one of the flotilla company’s instructors…….

The wind died and not many boats actually crossed the finish line. We stayed out far too late and motored into the marina in darkness…. quick change and off to the end of season party, which is still in full swing as I type this, but we have a flight to catch in the morning.

This brings to an end an awesome week of sailing. Some interesting weather, but we had loads of fun, and, just like every other time I have stepped on a boat, we learned a lot before we stepped off again. A bad day on the water is better than a good day anywhere else.

Until next season.

The skipper.
