I received a message from my friend, Nicola, on Monday, with the above photo attached and the question "Can you spot yourself?"
Her husband, Mark, is a pilot (I can't remember for which airline) and took the above as he was passing at 1240 on Sunday afternoon. Which would've been about the time Nicola was trying to take Amanda and me out in our Albacore by crashing through the start line on port in her RS Aero.

It was definitely one of those "How on earth did she get into that situation?" moments.
The winds were light and, other than a dent to our collective pride, no damage was done. It put a bit of a hiccup into the start of our race, but the Albacore sails well in light air and we went on to take a joint third place with one of the Solos, out of a fleet of eighteen.

A fair start to the winter's Frostbite series.
