Is it 3 yrs?

Doesn't time fly!  It's been three years since our last excursion to Llangorse Lake on the outskirts of Brecon and in the shadows of the Brecon Beacons.  It only feels like last year but saying that the Summer feels as if it was a year ago as well!
This time we took two boats with us.  Harry was learning to race a RS Feva with his friend Zac and they did rather well winning the General handicap Class whilst we spectated from the Bass Boat.  I use the term spectate broadly as for me it was almost a form of torture at some points.  This was due to the amount of weed in the lake.  It was awful at times and would just seem to suck you in and slow you right down making manoeuvring all but impossible without cheating with an oar to tack.
Sunday's sailing was better partially due to the amount of rescue ribs winding it up on their props like spageti on a fork and also due to us not venturing very far from the centre of the lake.
