First and sixth

Em chose her new North sail and sailed a marvellously consistent 3-1-3-1-3 this weekend which gave her first place overall on the discard. Her name will be the first on the Optimist cup for this event.
I sailed a slightly more shaky 3-2-11-4-14, and was squeezed out of the top five in the Radial fleet.
We all had a great weekend's sailing, thanks to those organising the event and to all those who came from other clubs to sail with us.
More Optimist photos will appear over on the Praat site soon.

Single-handers weekend

Em and I are off to a single-handers weekend event at the VWDTP. She now has two sexy rolled sails to choose from, I have an old folded Laser Radial sail for my old Laser.

The bed

... and this will be the bed, with drawers and heating elements underneath.

The bathroom

This is going to be the bathroom on the Arma, with shower and toilet and lots of epoxy.

Girls rules

This made Em laugh [only works with English buoys]

Almost eleven

Tomorrow Em will be eleven. Today she wanted to bake pizza with her school friends so we took over the large kitchen at the Jumbo supermarket in Groningen and they did just that.
