Frostbite

Two good races were expertly run last Sunday by Graham and Tom, with Huw patrolling the fleet. A total of nine boats gathered on the water in a gentle force 3. A fantastic sunny day was a reminder of how good summers can be, but with the sea temperature reminding everyone why it is called the frostbite series!

The first race was a Monkstone, Pendine, Harbour course. Results were: 1. Nick Berridge (Phantom); 2. Paul Griffiths (Solo); 3. Chris Bannister (Blaze)

The second race followed the same course, with the wind dropping towards the end of the race.

Results were: 1. Nick Berridge (Phantom); 2. Peter Bower (Phantom); 3. Chris Bannister (Blaze)

The sun had gone down by the time the racing was finished, with the temperature dropping along with the wind, but a good sail was had by all.

Next race is on November 20, last chance before the end of the season.

Darts

Last week, we went down to Tudor Lodge at Jameston, but again enjoyed a pleasant evening despite the defeat.

Peter Bower was conscripted at the last moment to make up numbers and despite constant denials of any ability at the sport as he was dragged to the board, managed to win his match. Veterans David James and Martin Andrews also won their doubles, so we were not too shame-faced.

This Friday we play in a cup match at Tenby Bowling Club and may well encounter Tenby Sailing Club, so we are sharpening the points!
