Sailing at Peterhead

Great day sailing up at Peterhead today.  Somewhat frosty start, breaking the ice off the self bailers so we could open them to let the water out and a cover stiff with frost.  Definately a day for the drysuit and thermals.

Wind died altogether going out to the start, took 30 mins just to get the 400yards or so from the beech to the comittee boat.  After a patient wait, wind finally filled in (with plenty of holes to catch the unwary).  Had 3 good races, first one went well and should be well up there on handicap, not so sure about the second race and definately only managed third or fourth out of five in the third.  Great weather though and fantastic light.
