Oh, and great pictures too.  Thanks!

I was just thinking how man people had done turns at the weekend.  Near to where I was in the fleet i saw these helms...
Myself (tacked in Jo Richards' water)
Jo Richards - 10 minutes later, big pile up at a mark, but not the one in the picture!
Andy McKee - hit a mark - plain stupid, frankly!
Graham Camm - mark rounding incident
I did not hear much shouting at anyone, it was all very good humoured.
Anyone else got some turns to report?
Finally, thanks again to all involved in organising.  Well done to Tom and Rachel for the Inlands, Jonno & Char for the Gill Series, Arthur and Mary Henderson and Chris Day / Sophie Richards for winning their first races at the Inlands, and to Rosie for putting up with me...

I will be there with Rosie W.

Well done Tom and Maria both for this weekend and the season.  It was good fun racing on Saturday.

Henley SC delivered on all of its promises.  A small, but clearly perfectly formed fleet enjoyed some very tight racing.  Thanks to all involved. 
Some fine pictures from the excellent sports-alive.com website here.

Grafham is in the middle of the country.  I am sure stealth camping is possible on a friday night...
We are coming - looking forward to seeing lots of people there.

The Thames Area continues on 12th September at Henley.
What you need to know is...
11am start, 3 races, splendid lunch, excellent tea.  Lots of fun to be had on a fine stretch of water in beautiful weather and idyllic breezes.  This is the final event in the south for those of you preparing for the forthcoming Inland Championships!
Club website is http://www.henley.sc.btinternet.co.uk/hsc_home.html 
Sign up here if you are coming so the club can have an idea of how many cakes to bake...
See you there.
 
 

Hi Naomi
We are planning to come again this year, but we wont be able to stay for the evening.

Congratulations on your purchase! 

And Jonno, Browny and I are meeting up for celebration drinks tonight.  What shall we do?

Will the old bridesmaids dress still fit?  I hope that the man steps up to the plate.

There is a great interview with Graham Camm about how the Burton Cup was won this year.  Available in all good newsagents (well you should find it in a big WHSmiths...)
