Taken yesterday at Cardiff Bay, this guy hopes his WR is going to be good enough, it must be a hell of a good plastic bag.Comment Image

the boat was just going around the bottom mark and he was getting into position ready for the close hauled run out to the upwind mark.

It was a fantastic event loads of fun, weather overall OK.

And yup a plastic bag and a rubber band is not a bad solution

It does Smeggy - but I am still trying to work out what "I REME SAILING" means

It can't be a reference to the Royal Electrical and Mechanic Engineers so perhaps a misspelling of the American slang - which could be taken several ways.

See what happens when you drink too much redbollex at this time of night

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

btw - back to the image. I know it was posted to show the, cough, 'weatherproofing', but I think it's actually a good composition and all it needs is a bit more contrast to richen up the colours. nice shot
