DNF !!

Well its been a long time since i DNF due to injury, luckily for me it was my crew who was injured - Nick Barnes (Normally a Cat Helm) my crew for Sunday after a startline collision with a couple of nippers in a spitfire , im amazed though we did the first 20 minutes of the beat at the forts race with poor old Nick just hanging there on the wire in pain untill we both realised it was more than just a bash !! So turned round and headed back in we got the attention of the committe boat (funny that 50 cats heading directly out to sea, 1 cat with a crew passing out on the tramp heading to shore !! ) anyway paramedics called by the club and after much prodding and poking and groaning the diagnosis was two broken Ribs and no more sailing for my old mucka for 6 weeks !!!
