Hunts Open and updated results...

Well, I'm glad that's over and we can get on to some sea sailing at long last (although I do appreciate that I might regret saying that). Not one of my better events, capped off nicely by a flat tyre on the M11. Thank you Marcus - he drove down to the junction at Stansted and then back North again to junction 9 to deliver his spare wheel. I solemly promise to put my spare wheel in the Land Rover next time!! A lesson for us all...

Anyway, the bump on the head is going down and I am looking forward to sailing at Creeksea again tomorrow - wind permitting.

Before I look at the overall results of the Eastern Series post-Hunts - what a result for Daren!! Well done mate-very impressive speed and persistance at working your way through. I felt for Ian Miller in the last race though - a good solid lead lost on a very bizzare beat - tough luck that.

Here are the results to date - I've added a discard to reflect the true standings...
