Little Dragon has been sitting in my backyard looking forlorn for many months mainly due to my gastrocnemius (calf) injury. It had me on crutches for weeks and I am still unable to clamber up on the foredeck. I hankered after a spring sail so John generously agreed to come aboard and take control especially of rigging.

It was forecast to be NE less than 10 knots and it was when we set out heading towards Iluka. However we soon turned tail back to Harwood watching a big squall approaching up the river. It finally veered off south but the wind came up double the forecast. The dinghies abandoned their saturday afternoon face. Back at the clubhouse members were shaking their heads saying it was too early in the season for such strong north easterlies. Times they are a changing...

Thanks John, it was great. Just what I needed after being too long a landlubber.
