Postcard from Pitsford

[DavidW]

The weekend is going brilliantly - The sun came out today - the wind blew. The Gill series event has been sailed for  - Tom Stewart & LIz Ross 1st, John & Katie Meadowcroft 2nd and Steve & Robby Adshead third. Lots of close racing throughout the large fleet . 77 boats today - a few more expected tomorrow though unfortunately not all of us could stay the whole weekend.

Big pursuit race tomorrow. This should be interesting. I can't decide where I would put my money - watch out for a strong showing from some very well sailed vintage boats but also Nigel Waller in the incredible evergreen Punkarella who has been showing some fantastic speed over the last couple of days.

The bouncy castle has arrived together with the sumo wrestling gear so there's entertainment for all who aren't sailing too - I wonder what the odds are on Kevan & Janet having a bounce!

That's all from me.

Good night
