Brrrr!

Sailing hasn't been top of the list for the last few weekends. Its been bitterly cold, very windy, and in the last 48hrs, snow has descended on the UK in quantities not seen since the 1970'sWe've had in places in excess of 12" of snow. Not a lot for some readers no doubt, but for a country that gets that volume of snow once every 20 years, we are totally unprepared. Hence chaos reigns!Its not the kind of weather that has you thinking of popping down to the boat for a quick afternoon on the water either!Progress on the 'making things' front has been somewhat reduced too.... the second dodger is completed up to the 'G', and there it has stalled while other things get in the way. Like work.The coming weekend boys trip is still planned, but we are keeping a close eye on the weather.... more snow forecast.... not that I am bothered about sailing in the snow, more concerned about making it down to Lymington in one piece!We have however, made one decision.... the tender... its just simply too tippy to be a permanent fixture.... so we'll be loooking at the cost of fitting a radar arch, and then putting the inflatable back on there. Or maybe if we can afford it, we'll treat ourselves at some point to a small rib....
