yachty!

The weekend sailing trip was a success. Went again on Wednesday afternoon for a sail. I am getting rather "in" to this sailing lark. I enjoyed the boat handling experience it gave me, coming alongside a pontoon and mooring to a buoy etc.

We have been doing "lights" in rule of the road this week. Really satisfying to recognise them. Just a case of learning and practicing. Its a shame fishing vessels in particular show the wrong lights in my limited experience. Also I have never seen a sailing vessel with its triangle indicating it is proceeding under sail and engine. Am guilty of that one myself!

Ciao, Rob
