Puffin? Oh yes - I think I've got one in my boot!

(after Flanders and Swan).

Ohhh, believe it or not, but, I am getting really excited about my first ever, CVRDA event.....

Will I find that all you CVRDA sailors are weird, trainspotter types (And I must admit - I am a trainspotter!!!)

Will I fit in? Or will you consider me strange, for wanting to sail on the Norfolk/Suffolk Broads....

I will look forward to joining the smokers in the car park, however, I fear that I may be by myself!!

Jon,

we are all strange...just in our own unique ways

[Rupert]

I'm sure we are all weird in other ways, but in this context others find us weird because we see nothing wrong with talking about/working on and occasionally, if it isn't broken, sailing old boats. If you don't find that odd, you'll fit right in. Might be right about the smoking, though...

[Pat]

No, there'll be two smokers in the car park. Though one is a Satisfaction

Half Cut's home from the barn so we need some dry weather on Saturday to clean and put the lines back.

[Ancient Geek]

Just to wish you all hugely succesful weekend, and to say to those not going to church I am sure your prayers on the water will be at least as sincere as those offered in the kirk!
Enjoy and have fun, rotten forecast for UK though.

[Rupert]

I managed to find a good forecast yesterday for Sunday - 12 mph, 10 degrees and only occasional light rain. I stopped looking at that point because I didn't want a second opinion!

Sunshine as always!

B**ger!

I thought that the Smoker, revarnished last summer, had escaped the worst of the winter weather, as it was okay when I came back from Oz. I've been down at the club working on the boat today and the foredeck has taking a bit of a beating - but the boat will be fully okay for Sunday.

So, once AUS 278 is done, the Smoker will go back into the workshop.....

Rig wise.... a 2.8m jib will work but that is not quite the whole story - later (but still hog stepped alloy) rigs use a slightly lower aspect rig - so you end up with about 6" of unused mast.

Boat will be all packed away Friday ready for a 'crack of dawn' start on Sunday

Crickey,

Please don't worry me like that!! When I read the first few lines, I started to think I hadn't got a sail on Sunday!!

Do I need to bring my sandpaper and varnish with me??

[Brookesy]

Will it be posible to drop my Finn off on Saturday as I will be staying with my parents in Marlborough and would like to be organised for once.

[Rupert]

Hi Brooksey,
yes, no problem. I'll PM you my number, and if you give me a call we can arrange when to meet.

[Brookesy]

Thanks Rupert I have PM'd you
