Only 4 days off. And the usual trip up north: with a 60hp inflatable RIB and 2 Splash dinghies (a Splash is a small hull laser with a larger sail - more instable = difficult to sail) on a trailer to the lakes in Friesland (looks like Norfolk). The annual start of the sailing regatta season. My son in his boat and we (other parents and I) will follow the races as rescue unit. One parent is a orthopeadic surgeon without a skippers lisence and I am the guy at the helm (steering wheel).
My son stepped from the optimist into the Splash after his last races in Bandol. This is first regatta in his new boat...
First weather forecasts for the Easter Weekend are very very promising! 15 - 20 degrees and 15 knots wind. Perfect.
