Four solid months of no-wind or too-much-wind finally took their toll. It was too windy in the morning, but dropped at lunchtime so we all rushed out there. Then it picked up again...

Pete and Iain are retiring and have lost a jib-sheet. Then they catch the wave.

Then the wave catches Iain.

No jib, and no crew. Bad show !

Bob and Paul investigate the wall.

Mike and Ed in the lead. It's Ed's boat and it's doing OK.

And then, all of a sudden, it isn't. Well we never liked that mast much anyway.
