GP14 Nationals at Tenby - Day 2

There is a storm brewing:

The BBC headline on Monday said it all; “Trains cancelled and events called off as Storm Floris brings wind and rain to the UK”

We had had advance warning the previous couple of days that Monday might be difficult. 

The organisers were obviously making contingency plans, since we had 3 races the previous day instead of the planned two. 

Speculation was that we might be able to get one race in around 3:00PM. 

The committee notified us that a decision would be made at 8:00 Monday morning.

So we waited patiently at breakfast. 

AP over A

Very soon the message came out that “AP over A” was being displayed at the clubhouse.

This immediately sent some of us scrambling for our Rule Books - or Google, depending upon our preferences.


The mystery was soon solved.  No more racing today.

I needed a rest anyway.

Let’s see what Tuesday brings.

I think Sarah summed it up very well in a WhatsApp post; 
“So no sailing today- a day to recover from pulling boats over the sand 🤩”
