Not one of my finest decisions to go to Southend today as it looks as though going to West Kirby, I would have smashed all pbs....but never mind...at lease I can save it for another day and give me more to look fwd to in 2012!

It was just too windy today...not bad speeds as I couldn't sheet in properly in 50knots plus...It would have been interesting to see what speeds some of the big guns would have got in southend today...I'll let Dave White off the hook there as he was on his smallest sail 6.2! and couldn't sheet in either.

Cool to see all the seals although they did make me a bit nervious when heads keep poping up infront of me all the time!
