Lovely wee boat there TR. We had a week on a narrowboat in the Stratford area, many years ago. Good memories. I’ve also kayaked on the Avon. Lovely area.

Did anyone watch the women's sailing 49er (skiff) final? Fab to watch, but controversy as two boats went through the wrong finish line!
Posted this on Olympics thread, but repeating here, as it's a bit niche!  G

Didn’t see that but I did see yesterday’s men’s medal race that was abandoned.

Windsurfing was cool too. Sad for Emma Wilson who was hoping for more than bronze. G

We’re in Menorca. The yachts in the cove are something else!!

AC - Menorca is lovely. Will you get on the water at all.
Some early work on Operation Happy GO Sailing (tentative post retirement hobby business starting next year taking people on sailing experience days on the lochs and bays of Scotland). Got half a dozen second hand buoyancy aids and wet suits from a kayak and canoe experience business friend. He's also keen to hear how my business starts up. G

Not very likely for sailing/paddling, but we’ll be swimming every day.

Tragic about the Bayesian yacht sinking.
In happier sailing news, thinking about joining local club. I have 2 within 20 mins. Spoilt for choice! Kinghorn or Dalgety Bay. I've always avoided coastal just because feels safer on Loch or reservoir. But coast is closer than loch clubs!
Favouring Kinghorn because a. former boss who I hated was Dalgety Bay member and b. they have a wee loch too! G

Anyone watching the Americas Cup? It seems to be to dinghy sailing what flying to Mars is to aviation, except with less Elon.

I’ve tried. Dull ain’t it? Technically/technologically brilliant I guess; more like model boat racing to observe, in terms of excitement.
