Poor turnout

This is the Scene this morning as we prepared for the Annual Regatta. Up graded to German Championship, which attracted lots of new entries ( Wonderful what a Trophy and Title can do!!) Sadly the weather today is lousy, winds Swinging from one direction to another and heavy showers. The old faithfuls turned up, but from the others, no sign, not even a courtesy call to say they weren't coming, typical!
My boat is on the left of the pic, but didn't get much time in the water as the ordered Landing Stage also failed to appear, so launching was a problem for lots of people.Myself included. The strange 3 master with Chinese junk sails also did not sail, it is a weird boat, and rarely gets her bottom wet!
