Martin did a great job getting results on the internet as soon as he received them from the race officer. Even when he didn't have internet connection, a quick walk around the village solved that problem.

I completely agree about the club and the folks that helped out during the event. A good fun event. Although driving down pentewan hill (pesky sat nav) which is a good 1 in 5 and very narrow was a bit frightening,esp. with a boat on a trailer.
I seemed to go straight into having a holiday and had a nice jolly sail around the cans on days 1 & 2 occasionally going a little bit faster, just couldn't get the competitive juices flowing.
Finding that 'free' internet connection in the village was intriguing. Erling and I got some funny looks sitting on a bench in the square with a computer reading numbers out. One lady even walked around the square a comple of times staring. Weird how it started to drop out shortly after
Loved the go-karting but Team Seasalter (all 4 of us!) got knocked out after the first 3 races
, wanted to try that longest zip line in europe they had there.
The cruise was good fun and the tricky entry into Gorran Haven harbour was interesting.
So a nice place to sail,
