Sailing Cancelled!

How annoying, the wind over the weekend (Sunday) was just too much for the race May mug/Sykes 3 to start. The small dinghy with 3 on-board, that did launch had to be retrieved by the safety boat - or rather walker back through the mud upstream.

Below is a snap from the Brightlingsea Sailing Club twitter account giving some indication of the weather. It should be noted that they are down wind from us and I believe a little more sheltered.

Too Strong Winds

Force 4 sounds all well and good but the gusts at Wivenhoe were er ....very gusty!
