A bit of a late start today, almost made it to Blackheath by 11:30am but thwarted by heavy traffic on Cassland Road in Hackney.

Not quite Diamond conditions today so full 1.5 sails with race rods. Some called moments and an occasional appreciative audience.

This is the late spring/early summer week when everything is perfect except, maybe, the ambient temperature.

We must firm up plans for Beverly and confirm arrangements for Portsmouth. Dieppe is all set apart from travel arrangements and the ‘delegation’ offering.

I just located the file of original Decs photographs from 1996. As I had some anxiety about the location of said file this is very good news…
