Chicked!




After three Sunday morning club races I'm in equal first place. As we'll be all over Holland with Em and her Optimist for the next four month it won't stay that way for long.
On Sunday I ran out of boat speed as the wind dropped and I failed to change gear. Martien and Peter passed me and Martien went on to win the race.
I've just learned that being passed by a lady, as happened to Peter and I on the last but one beat, is referred to as being 'chicked'.
