The Met office issued a Severe weather warning for the weekend of Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May and yes it did effect us all.
Solva - will it ever happen?
The postponed Solva (Cardigan Windows sponsored) Cruise was scheduled for this weekend.
Not a good choice - Pre event briefing during the week made the wise decision to postpone again.
A decision vindicated by the wind conditions when it did arrive.
David Pegg decided to host a BBQ on the foreshore at St Dog's and everyone had a good time - no broken boats and and no sea sickness.
Watch this space for maybe another try later in the season.
Youth Squad at Dale
The penultimate CYRC was schedule for this weekend at Dale Yacht Club and the TBC youngsters were there.
Did the first race start - not quite.
Everyone was on the water enroute for the start line when the wind kicked in - the fleet suffered a massive knockdown and safety became the order of the day. Boats were abandoned to be collected later and younsters were rounded up and brought safely to the shore.
Racing was abandoned and Dale Yacht club must be commended for their prompt and effective action in that no one suffered any injuries and only minor damage was caused to a few boats. (sorry to Huw Parsons, father of Mathew and Aled, the boy's Feva did need minor repairs and Huw now feels that he must be a major investor in RS the makers of Fevas)
Obviously no results and the only other comment from the day was from Harry Upton, who revels in windy conditions, he sailed his Optimist back to the shore and casually enquired what all the fuss was about.
Even the Fishing Cancelled
Sunday 25th was scheduled for the Mackerel Competition - you guessed it 'Postponed'
Never is everything 'Just Right' but there is always tomorrow!
