**Saturday 18.8.2024 IOM Sailing Report**

The old saying goes, "Only fools and horses go out in the midday sun," but what do you call six determined sailors standing under gazebos in the pouring rain, racing their boats on a Saturday afternoon? Perhaps a group of dedicated enthusiasts, undeterred by the weather, committed to their passion. Despite the fluky breeze, it was just enough to get in some good races. Special thanks go to Graham for setting up the gazebos, providing much-needed shelter from the rain, and then drying them out. Thanks to everyone for the good spirits and camaraderie that kept everyone going despite the less-than-ideal conditions.

Cheers Ken
