Windy? That's an understatement, it was practically a Force 10 gale all day.
We'd had really good weather all week for all the practice days - but on the day of the competition the wind was howling across the water, horizontal rain and huge waves. You could hardly get a line out at times. I had a very wet bottom when I came in at 5pm. Even the super-duper waterproofs couldn't keep us dry in those conditions.

Hoping the official photos in uniform won't be too bad, although there were a number of comments from within the team that some of us look like men in drag in the tartan skirts...

Some of the girls would like plain black trousers (which I agree with) so I suggested that we cut up the skirts and make them into waistcoats instead, which everyone thought was a good idea. We just need a good seamstress to do them for us (paid of course).

Well done M-J.

The waistcoat and black trousers sounds good compromise.

Fanks very much Gil...and everyone.
I should point out I merely contributed as a member of the 14-strong Welsh team - I didn't get the silver all on my own

Well done M-J. Silver is great.

I'm happy if I can just catch one for tea.
