Lol nice photos Mark!

Sorry to hear about your sail tho. Oh well hopefully the next few days will be more than 6.9 weather. Am wondering about Portland tomorrow, or anywhere really, is anyone out?

Rach

I'm busy Sat but free Sunday, have only thought as far as Portland so far, bit warmer than WSM! But could be tempted elsewhere. Glad the rain has moved off now! Rach

Bah. I can't get out of work this week. Maybe Sunday.

Sounds great, I've mailed you. Don't think I'll be showing anyone up but might learn a lot

Aww jealous that vid looks fab!

Thanks guys :D Sue you're right windguru is a fluorescent rainbow this week! It would be so rude not to get out, especially as my meetings have been cancelled weds and thurs, will see what i can do, def out Sunday as a minimum. Are you fancying some outings then? I'm fully qualified to teach you to ...

Lol, we were all the little red sails - 10 trainee instructors causing carnage on Rios! :lol: Yes it was really shallow in the day, nice first thing though. I had a really fun blast before class on Saturday a bit overpowered on 5.7 + Kode and at lunchtime was totally overpowered on the same kit but ...

Yup, beanie and gloves, and as windy as forecast, a good F6-7. :D It's quite intense waterstarting on a 3.5 sail only to find yourself fully planing on a Rio without a harness or any footstraps! :shock: :o :D My planing carve gybes might have gone better if I'd remembered to put the daggerboard up.....

I will be on the water at Portland at 7am for a pre-class windsurf if anyone is bonkers enough! Sailing from OTC corner not boatyard. Have a good day all the forecast looks great! It was definitely hat weather today in Portland and gloves helped too but maybe I'm a wuss!

God knows! I will definitely use it somehow, if I pass but the plan has yet to crystallise! I do like UK sailing but the day job is an issue!

I just had two brilliant days of start instructor training down at Portland. :D Amazing weather for the time of year, didn't even have to break out my beanie hat! 8) And perfect Rio sailing conditions! I agree Graham, Sam is an ace teacher, in fact we have 3 trainers and they are all good. So my Rio...

I didn't see the message till now. Got there early so parking was no problem at the Kings Arms but I didn't stay for long on me tod as they told me it was cancelled!
Hope we can rearrange Zara? I was looking forward to that.

Lol you guys make me laugh!
Very convincing - I almost believed I'd missed a spectacularly windy afternoon for a minute!
It was grand to have such a big posse outing, sorry I had to leave early.
Hope that's not the last of the year, we shall see...
