THE FIRST POLY SAILING REGATTA

About 30 people made the journey up to the Simpson residence for August Bank Hols. The usual Lakeland weather greeted us so it was a perfect weekend to be in the water. Mat had done an amazing job of organising food and endless tea and it seemed at times as if the entire village of Howtown is populated by Simpsons.

We sailed on Satuarday and then Sunday raced to an island on Ullswater so far away that people were fast dropping to hyperthermia. Mat had also rooted out an old bike and equipped it with a bouyancy aid for general pier jumping amusement (see photos) All in all a grand wekend out. And looking forward to next year's regatta so put it in your diaries now!
