Fantastic day 1, Martin has declared that sun will shine on the righteous. After yesterdays gale force winds and rain we can't believe a difference 24 hours has made. The lake was made good use of today enjoy some of the pictures I took of the boats I got to see (the ones I got around to seeing I should add, I ended up talking most of the day!!!).
A general view from the far end of the lake next to Blackheath club with Stavros and Steamboat Phil not at home leaving Kelly (Mrs Stav) guarding their stand.
