DMYC September Series 2013
The September Series is an annual set of races run by the DMYC. Some years I race, other years I’m the RO, and yet other years I’m in a RIB with a camera. This year, I was in a RIB.

Greystones and back

Slipping out
Slipping the mooring today to go sailing, plus a bit of a view of the harbour that I’m moored in. Note, contains swearing when I realise I forgot to ease the topping life (dolt) and when my ancient winches do what they reliably do – cause riding turns.
