Frostbite 5 – non-racing report
|
The usual motley crew, ie Dave, Newton, little Dave, Mark and ‘her ladyship’ Monica, donned their dry suits and pumped up Dave’s little boat to get up to clubhouse. Not totally accurate, Monica didn’t have her dry suit on so she was allowed to ride in the boat, along with copious bottles of mulled wine and a ton of mince pies!
Every thing was ok, a small area of grass was visible near the ‘Pirates’ log: so everyone pitched in tying up boats here and there, everything in the club house was put up on the tables, mats rolled up and all the lower cupboards emptied. Then it was time for a break and they settled for coffee and a mince pie, though they were tempted to sample the mulled wine…..
Newton had kindly given Monica a piggy back up to the clubhouse as it was decided they didn’t need to open the gate and just tied the rubber duck up outside the gate and wade the rest of the way – but on the return trip – we don’t quite know what happened, but both Monica and Newton ended up lying in the water to every one’s amusement!!! so much for keeping the VC dry…..
They made it back to the gate, wished everyone a Happy Christmas and departed.
THERE WILL BE NO BOXING DAY RACE, watch this space as to when racing will resume….next Sunday possibly….???
