Well, Thursday was the first weekday evening race at the sailing club. Heading out to the start the wind was light but still a vast improvement on Sunday. As the race went on we began to get some big gusts coming in, but I managed to stay upright.
All in all not a great performance in terms of competitiveness, but at least I'm out there doing it!

Well. Took the boat for it's first competitive outing at the weekend. Unfortunately the wind was all over the place, up and down and round and round. Ended up fourth, which isn't bad by my reckoning....
Also got a nice pair of Mavic Aksium wheels for my road bike, stuck on my carbon forks for summer and did twenty miles on Sunday morning. Which is the longest I've done for quite some time.....

Went for my first sail in my new boat today. It was smashing so it was.
Also found out I was on rescue boat duty, so it wasn't quite as relaxing an afternoon as I hoped, but if people didn't do their rescue boat duties and race officer duties then the whole system would collapse.

New boat, and frankly I'm well chuffed....

Well, now back in Scotland and settling back into the working routine.
Certainly had a very nice time in Australia and cannot recommend Melbourne enough, a fantastic city it is!
Anyhoo.... back to the daily grind!
