Mixed emotions and difficult times.

A strange and mixed up tangle of emotions this weekend as the excitement and fun of our trip to Itchenor to join 32 other boats  at 420 Open training and to collect Joanne's new Racing machine was severely challenged by the sad news that Grandad finally lost his long battle with prostate cancer on Saturday and passed away quietly just after noon.  Grandad loved his granddaughters dearly and was so proud of all their achievements.  He will be very much missed by us all.

Typing this heading home up the A34 with just another 425 miles to get home!  Playing dodgems with 29ers flooding off of Hayling Island after their Grand Prix event.
