Bit nippy today, and rather breezy. Perhaps not the best choice, but as boating by bike I took the Hobbies Hydro.

This can be a bit tender in even slight wind, so I hit on the cunning wheeze of putting a second 6 cell Nimh in there to give it some extra stability and this worked ok, no turnovers. Not only that, but bone dry inside afterwards.

Richard had the ‘Dying gull” (arr me hearties) and the schooner, both Liking the breeze.

Noel turned up with a small sailing boat which went quite well.

Early retirement due to numb fingers!
