Saturation

Did I mention we got beat by Hannah last Wednesday evening?

Her brother Dan was sailing a British Moth in the same race. It was good to see him back out on the water again; the previous week he'd scored DNF (an acronym for "Did Not Finish" for any non racers / sailors than might pass this way) on account of his mast falling down. Unfortunate, but fortunately little to no damage was done to anything but his pride.

He scored DNF again this week, but possibly because he was concentrating less on the racing and more on capturing footage with his GoPro. He did post a very nice clip up onto Facebook yesterday evening (to be fair any video he posts is almost always of superb quality) which I think perfectly caught the mood and feel of the evening's racing.

He's kindly allowed me permission to post a few stills from the video up here. Naturally, we're the boat with the blue sails. Dan is the guy in the Moth.
