It’s been a summer of dinghy sailing so far. I have joined a new sailsports club based at the harbour in Galway. Galway Sailsports Club has been set up to cater for three sports, Dinghy Sailing, Kite Surfing and Sail boarding. The location is excellent and we sail twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays. We have been sailing just off Ballyloughane beach some evenings. I’m delighted that there is sailing so close to the city; I always had a feeling that the local resources were being underutilised. Only issue I have with sailing is that you need a lot of gear necessitating me to use the car more than I’d like. Next stop Amazon to get large panniers for the bike….
