Very windy. A tough sail up through the channel. Spinnakers all the way home. A great test of sailing excellence in Lough Foyle. The stretch through the narrows was a very dead run. Anton H and Joy W saw Ken and Davy L and fancied that if they could hold the course without a Jibe they might catch them. It was working and then suddenly there was some swimming. Recovery was without made without difficulty and completed when Joy W had carefully put her sunglasses in her pocket. Lol.
Many thanks to Liam H and Big Pete who came up to provide rescue cover and to lay the mark. Greatly appreciated.
Congratulations to James P H and Alan T who won the John Hume/University of Ulster trophy for 2018.
