My school gave me the afternoon off so that we could get to our hotel near Carsington at a good time. We picked up Charlie #170 and his dad and we watched films on his laptop all the way there – it took a long time.
On Saturday morning we picked up Shaun and Charlie @ 8 o'clock so we would get there safely before 9, because otherwise Charlotte would make us do p****ups. Even with the ice on the car we made it with loads of time.
We now have to drink 2-3 Bottles of squash or sports drinks before going out on the water to smoke the blocks ! Race training was great, got to keep racing until the end no matter where you are in the fleet and keep your head out of the boat
There was a bonfire & pie supper at the club on Saturday night so we stayed on to watch the fireworks.
On Sunday we picked Charlie and Shaun up bit earlier because we had an early start with Charlotte.
Exercises today were pac-man, Gutbusters and diamond geezer.
It was even colder, but I still managed to keep the main sheet off the mark as we practised boosting over the marks – but I must practise doing my turns quickly when I hit the mark with my buoyancy aid.
Shaun & Charlie needed to get home quickly on Sunday night so we dropped them at the station and will take Charlie's boat to Grafham
Thank you to DAVE, CHARLOTTE and ANDY!!!!
