    Let's play "Spot the very young miss no stars"....

    If someone's really on the ball, they might even see spot what's a bit odd about my presence in the article in the images...

    That's just souper!! :D

    Is that you in the Pink Cag and being presented with something by a guy who looks like Steven Spielberg and some other guy wearing gold shorts.

    Not sure what's odd other than you are on the hard when the pics were taken?

    That's me :p

    What's odd is that I was featured twice in those photos and also made the local newspaper, despite not being among the competition winners. I was just there to do my sailing course :p

    What sailing is on tonight, one of the Clubs end of season? Looks like gentle racing anyway - winds are currently 9 gusting to 11.

    Are you doing the cruiser challange (sans Cacciatore) this weekend

    I'm a bit outnumbered alright but we do have a few petrol heads keeping up the fight :D
    I also have a few friends in the powerboat branch http://powerboat.iwai.ie/ to help me out if the sailors get a bit raggy.

    Someone should tell the nice girls, they don't seem to be aware of that.

    Yep, NYC end of season race. Myself and another girl did it two-handed (spinny and all, very pleased with ourselves we were!), so just as well it was light :D

    Doing the CC on a Sigma - looking forward to it, looks like absolutely ideal conditions.

    Are ye doing it?

    Welcome to that new poster on the forum (whose name I can't remember now, apologies) - power or sail, a boat is a boat so it's all good :D

    I'd be having a quiet word with him about his timing while you're there - give him the sailing season dates and tell him to work around them in future :D

    Kinda agree Fergal.b
    But there is a mistake there, men don't grow up!

    It's my job, believe me I know!
    But then again some women don't either- cause the don't want to!

    Would to be great to have a meet, to put faces to names- know our Moderator's face!
    Mmmmm pretty nice one too!

    Miss no stars put up a post "Beers (Motor) sailings" keep a eye on that to see when they are meeting I'm sure they will welcome you along I have met them already for beers at the start of the season but I'm not sure I would do it again "bit of an ambush" :D

    Only my mother would comment on my face instead of my boat :) "Mom is that you" :eek:

    Hi All,
    Thinking of going around the fastnet tomorrow morning early Glandore to fastnet. I have been looking at all the weather charts on the internet and the conditions seem suitable. Am I correct in thinking the sea should be relatively calm tomorrow for the trip.

    Regards

    Paul.
