Sunday 15th July 2007 
         Sorry no pictures, cameraman racing!
         There was quite a lot of activity round the Club today. Members making 
          last minute preparations for the Family Cruise to North Wales which 
          starts next Sunday Morning, according to the website, and several dinghies 
          racing and others just enjoying a sail. Some just enjoying a drink in 
          the clubhouse. 
        Giles volunteered to give the countdown on the water, no OOD or Safety 
          Boat. 
        The wind was easterly force 1 to 2. Pleasant conditions, a little sun. 
        Course designed by Mark: A rectangular course. 
        All the boats got off to a reasonable start with Mark taking the lead. 
          The wind was light which allowed the tide to influence the boats.

        The wind increased slightly and during the second race backed to north 
          east, the tide again becoming a decisive factor in the final stages.
