Grrrrrr.......
Right, this is going to be an onoing thread for people to vent their frustrations when work (schmurk) or anything else gets in the way
of a good session on the water.
I'll start it off today as after popping over to the beach to see how much wind there was a few times only to find it a little marginal
at around 15 knots, I finally gave in and decided to go off for a wedding anniversary meal with Anna so booked a table for 7.30pm....
Guess what, 10 minutes after getting off the phone and it is now 20 knots + and the sun is shining.... Grrrr, grrrrr and thrice
grrrrrr!
Oh well, think of the brownie points Al.

In the vein of Al's original post....I had to forego a sunny/windy evening session on Wednesday for our silver anniversary wedding
meal. That seemed like good a good load of brownie points to bank though...or was I avoiding a large debit ?

And another..... Grrrrrr
Not able to get out today despite the perfect conditions... Gorgeous sunshine and a steady 20-22 knot NW wind... Not due to work today
though but due to a back injury.

Another one.... Spent most of the afternoon floating around a pond in a rubber dinghy removing mutant reeds and then had to stand on
the beach watching everyone else out on the water while I was left holding the baby... Can't go out now either as I have a 'business
meeting' at 6pm... Grrrr, grrr and thrice grrrr.
