Toppers and streakers at a recent open meeting

This illustrates why the Deben Yacht Club is going to build a new ramp over the mud in September. There is no room to launch and recover more than a few boats at a time. I am not very good at getting it right and slipped off into the mud too often last year.

I had the streaker out a couple of weeks ago - and someone kindly caught me as I paddled in (no wind for once) or I would have been in the mud again. Since then we have had very strong and gusty winds and I have not been out. Nor have I been out in Lookfar.

I have been to the gym and my muscles are starting to get stronger and I am working them up to the next weight level - but still less than this time last year.
