Last Saturday I was crew on a boat that did the round the Isle of Wight race. The entire experience spanned most of the sailing I think you see in the UK. It started off ignobly with a gale force wind, race day dawned bad but turned great and sunday post race sailing was better yet. I'm composing a photo essay on the event. In the mean time this is a great picture of ME! I'm not really sailing, its totally posed. But that is my new foul weather gear (thanks, Ceri!) and that is my hugely sunburned face. Really great fun.
