4 DAY weeken at SCYC and only the 505 to watch and play at thier Nationals .First day very
breezy the rest was light and variable. I'm rubbing the backside off OGO POGO and generally
getting her shipshape and checking everything. 3 hours each day . A fellow clubmate The Doc
shares the hose and removes his antifowling whilst being sent to valhalla with some quaint
Celtic music. The crews never appear for this job do they? Well mine did his bit when we came
off the water and this weekend is his first weekend ofF from SCYC for six weeks.
180 miles or 360 miles for a weekends sailing thats what I call keen . We dont treat
Squib sailing lightly and when theres no wind there is always the Bar or better still a trip
with the better half to some beautiful national trust centre or a great variety of local walks.
As Pete Richards says is his article since the last time the Nationals were at Abersoch the
fleet has become increasingly competetive and absorbing new members who like me are
copying from the best and learning something new all the time. Thats what competition
does.
