THIS WEEKEND

Leaving aside the sporting activities of various Leicester-based teams, this weekend sees a return to the water. There was a spot available on the boat I used to crew on for this weekends Spring Regatta in the harbour so I will be out on Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday.

Not expecting great things though.

In fact we became so used to being at best mid-fleet that last year when we did suddenly find ourself in first place we realised none of us had bothered to check the board to find out the course. We had all assumed we would simply follow the other boats like we always do. Fortunately we then messed up a spinnaker hoist (when I say "we" what I mean is "I") and we were duly overtaken by two other boats and finsihed third. Phew. would have been very embarrassing to be in the lead and head off in the wrong direction.

And both dogs are now back up to full speed after various health scares so doubt a couple of hours hiking will be fitted in somewhere too.

Have fun all
