We are having an open day at Datchet sailing club (west London) this weekend 19/20th. There will be half a dozen F16s on the water to try and laods of entertainment. All welcome. Free as well!
I still can't believe you sail in the cold iceberg-laden water. It took me days to get warm afterwards when I was there a couple of years ago, and I was on the rescue boat and only briefly jumped on a Stealth to help one get back to shore. Much happier in Asia where the water is never below 22 degrees celsius...
But for those interested. It is a good day. Still laugh at John Alani's massive nosedive that I got an excellent photo of.

Yep, that one. Well timed when taken from a moving speedboat methinks.
I know this shot was just before john went swimming; I've done the same thing a few times and not washed the sails. T foils do make a massive difference, but when they let go, they let go big time.

We have had quite a warm winter this year, with the exception of one weekend two weeks ago while I was doing an RYA instructors course, and it was as cold as it looks!
Now youv'e said that it does look like a wave, but its nothing so dramatic. It's just a snow covered bank, on the other side of the bank is the river Ouse.
