2 out of 3 races completed, 7th (out of 10) in both. To be fair (I might get a beer out of it!) the rating Larry was given stinks (of course it's a fast boat Larry, honestly :) ). The first start was brilliant, first over the line. The second start, the helmsman (L) decided to try so he completely stuffed it up. Luckily the other boat involved didn't protest so we weren't disqualified. Will we race on the last day or rest on our laurels? It's depressing how the mind can grind a winch like a twenty-year old but the body lags behind a bit (OK, lags behind a lot :) )
I am bloody winching in, OK!  AND I'm not happy, I live here, remember!
Get in there you...........flappy white thing, you!
I hurt my finger ..gimme medal (or a cold beer for medicinal purposes)
Oh Lord, give me patience (or a younger crew!)
NIIICE gloves (woofta!)
