aka – the green slime returns

On arrival at the lake it was evident there was very little wind and also that the algae, curiously absent on Saturday had returned with a vengeance. Most adjourned to cups of tea, with a few trying to sail and then giving up.

We basically agreed not to bother – then Dave Pickup went home to do the gardening and all changed! The wind followed his surname and picked up – and despite the slime it actually became decent sailing. So racing commenced in sunshine and fair winds.
