The annual ybw ECF 'laying down supper' this weekend, this year in the Colne Yacht Club at Brightlingsea... last time we went there, the food was OKish, but the service was terrible, but that was a few years ago... so we were intrigued to find out how it had changed...
But mainly, we were worried about the weather...
We'd been invited to sail onboard Pipedream II, a friends boat... which we were looking forward to... and wow what a weekend!
A belt up the Wallet on Saturday with apparent wind of 25kts, course hard on the wind... reefs in, and over on her ear... but the sun was out, and while cold, it was clear and blue skies that made it...
A great night in CYC, with food that was excellent, and very friendly service... big bonus...
and then Sunday... boy what a sail...
A broad reach back in blazing susnshine... we started well wrapped up, and gradually lost layers as the day went on... 15kts of wind... superb... just a wonderful sail in near perfect conditions.
Spuring me on to get on with Phoenix.... good job really.. i've got the week off to work on her!
