ST Valentines Day Storm Aftermath
Dave P and Dave I got the dinghy out and photographed the mayhem at RSC. We righted a some boats, shut up the ski shed doors and rescued some stray kit. Most boats are now tied to something, and the access to the river has been blocked, big thanks to Brian and Richard. Lots of water – up to our nether regions, so don’t attempt to wade up lane. No water in the clubhouse at all, hallelujua.

Racing – Sunday 9th Feb
Not surprisingly the water level has risen, and the road through Sonning is now shut to vehicles. This raises the possibility of relocating the race to the B478 with use of the roundabout at Sonning Eye as a mark of the course – starboard rounding as per the highway code. The logistics of relocating would be significant therefore with regret RACING IS CANCELLED.

The road to the club is still under water but you can walk it in normal wellington boots if they finish just below the knee. Walk slow or they will fill up.
Drive down in a 4 x 4 only if the ground clearance is high.

At the club, it’s still waterlogged in places but not too bad.The jetties and launching ramps have not surfaced yet. The place is a bit of a mess now, but once the sun comes out it will look fine, I don’t think we will see any sailing for another week or so.
