Training Weekend at Brixham

Steve and Andy drove down on Saturday morning and met us for elevenses. We then had a gentle day out showing them the ropes. We even tried out the oars in a quiet spell at Lympstone. After wending our way out of the Exe we reached across to Brixham. Steve and Andy realised sailing is actually very easy and the sailors exaggerate the difficulty hugely. The lure of steak and chips saw us landing at the Yacht Club and enjoying a tasty meal. By sunset we were on our way home and had a practice of night sailing. Kelly and Ian got some time on the helm, and Andy had a go too. We crept up the Exe in the dark and tied up at 2.30am before the rain and gales blew in. All in all a successful mission even if Beeline played a few tricks on me with unexpected leaks and missing lights.
