RS Vareo Training Loch Venachar
Five sailors attended from all five corners of Scotland, two deciding
they weren't up to scratch for venturing out in F6 (gusty) on the
Saturday; white horses everywhere. The hardy men who did launch were good
value entertainment for those who watched from the clubhouse! Tim's pre-
sail briefing in the boat park covered a lot of valuable rigging tips
which, on their own, guaranteed value for money and covered the cost of
the weekend! Rooster will be getting a mini-sales boost!
The video footage, because of the Baltic conditions, was limited in
length but very revealing with regard to keeping the Vareo flat, not an
easy proposition in the conditions, even for the bigger guys!
Saturday afternoon was very gusty, after a lull while we were off the
water munching LVSC's tasty lunch, which made kite-flying a marginal
proposition.
Sunday afternoon's forecast was for snow on higher ground but it all
arrived eighteen hours early resulting in horizontal blizzard conditions
in the morning. With at least one driver facing a four hour drive back to
Findhorn, we "went round a triangle course" with Tim on a whiteboard for
an hour and regrettably sloped off homewards.
Tim and Amy received photos showing Loch Venachar in mill-pond state,
just to show that Scotland can be nice as well as downright nasty!
We'd all love a repeat visit from Tim, in May 2008 - he says he actually
IS up for it!
