Thrills & spills on Alana during the Round the Islands race on Sunday 24th May. We had had a go at the race on Saturday, but, along with Mike & Rhiannon on Xanadu had given that up as a bad job due to lack of wind. But being tenacious as we are, we decided to give it another go on Sunday. Shortly after this we were doing 1.9kn (and I nearly spilt my wine!) and we were about to run aground at Cardiff Grounds and we debated whether or not to just go aground for the fun of it, but decided against it. We put the motor on and headed back to the club for the BBQ!

We locked out at 12ish, drifted down to barry and drifted back, locked in about 4.15 after bumping the mud near the locks, got a nice red nose and arms though.

A picture of Rose taken on Saturday in the bay - have I got the right Rose?

Pity we missed that. Louise was swimming with a turtle at the time.
