So November's looking a little quiet. Though the above isn't accounting
for the Club Championship series at Frampton, or any of the racing
series beyond the start of the Spring Handicap in March or any of the
odd bits and pieces we'll invariably get up to at Lydney. In reality,
November will probably be completely occupied with the Frampton Winter
Series. It's usually the one we get most chance to focus on.
Aside from the above, I'd like to get back to Plymouth for a weekend
with Dad and the Drascombe, and would like to fit an upchannel cruise
with Dad out of Lydney, taking us over the Llanthony Wier on the tide
and then hauling out at Lower Lode below Tewkesbury.
Also really, really want to get at least one downchannel cruise in with
the Drascombe this year, and sail under the Severn Bridges with Dad.
There are two Portishead cruises with Lydney in the above plan that
might realise that. Circumnavigating Lundy will have to wait for another
day I suspect.
The Club Championship at Frampton is going to be too interupted for us
to do well at this year, but it would be nice to get some glassware for
one of the club series, after having come so close last year. That'll be
an ambition for the Winter Series.
Ben (boy_v1) heads off to Uni [with a bit of luck and a following wind]
come September, so we'll have to see how that impacts things.
Other ambitions will be to sell the Europe and the sadly neglected
Topper once the weather warms up, and if Ben doesn't race her regularly,
Penny will also have to go. If finances stretch to it, then it would be
nice to replace the sails on Buffy.
Main ambition however is just to get back out on the water ASAP. Will
try for this Sunday, I think!
