Rutland Civil Service Sailing Club 15 August 2022

A days sailing and great to have RCSSC member back sailing with Rutland Civil Service Sailing Club (RCSSC) after a long gap due to Covid and lots of other things to keep him busy busy busy. At last some time for Mark to get a sail in. I have never seen Rutland Water so low before as the pictures show. The good news it is so large, we still found plenty of water in both the Northern and Southern legs. In the morning Mark sailed Satyr with Mike and I got some hands on sailing Time Flies with John. The wind picked up throughout the morning but was mainly F2-3 . Lunch break and I joined Mark on Satyr and Mike joined John on Time Flies and the wind really did pick up. The weather warned of thunderstorms and whilst these did not materialise, a god F4-5 did and we lapped it up. All too soon time to recover our keel boats to the boat park, ready for the next sail. But not without a debrief for Mark, Mike and Dave on the clubhouse veranda and enjoyed watch Kids Week sailing, jumping into the water, giant water pistols and all. The picture on the podium was us being 'boys' again. Another great day sailing at Rutland Sailing Club.
