Family Sailing week commenced today.
Must be there 0900hrs. “All children into wetsuits prior” trumpeteed the specially set up Whatsapp group. Time and tide waits for no man. Damn early for summer hols I say. Harumph.
On the approach to clubhouse we witnessed the uncomfortable spectacle of a child lying on the grass, leg raised in the air and 2 women tugging at a wetsuit which stubbornly refused to move up the limb. The women were grimacing one actually sweating with the effort. We could not see the child’s face. Poor lad.
Had to pay in car park as lost our membership pass, sent out in Feb, between the windscreen and the fascia thing of car. Took it to senior car dealership in the County to attempt extrication but they said it would interfere with airbag.
A gorgeous Swallows and Amazons day nonetheless
