Breaking out of lockdown

The government lifted restrictions on watersports on 13th May.  Tom celebrated with a short sail in the National 12 on the Thames on 15th.

We advertised to the IRC Double Handed WhatsApp group that we would organise informal race training for anyone who turned up at Hill Head buoy at noon on 24th May, but nobody else seemed to be ready at this point.  We headed out anyway for a gorgeous afternoon’s sailing in a remarkably empty Solent.  The number of boats out was more like midweek in October than the Spring Bank Holiday weekend – take a look over the co-skipper’s shoulder, below.
