It was really light winds for sailing today and I was in two minds wheither to rid up or not . I gave myself I stiff talking to and rigged and started . I did a couple lap and the same in , the wind was as bad as I thought it was going to be . It wasn’t the sailing that’s the problem , the boat was going well. It’s my 63 year old knees. Dinghies come in two kinds , deep cockpit ones that you sit in and self draining ones ( like mine ) that are shallower and you spend a lot of time on your kneeling in light winds . I do love this boat , it does everything I want from at boat at this time but I do know at sometime I will have to change to a deep cockpit boat if I want to continue sailing into my 70s. 😀
Anyway coming off early saved my health and temper ( and got me to the bar first ) and all is well in the exlaser household as Mrs exlaser won the race by a country mile .
Let’s hope for a little more wind next week. 😀

I know you and Pete and Gunk have much more detailed info on Northampton than me , but I have say for balance my daughter lived in semilong for three years when doing her degree and for year near Northampton hospital when doing her masters ,spending loads of time in town centre and Kingsthorpe and never ever had any trouble at all. And neither did any of her friends 😀😀
