Day 7 in London for Cumberland Cup - Racing Day One
11 May 2012 | Queen Mary Sailing Club, Queen Mary Reservoir, Ashford, Middlesex, England
Andrew & Vera Waldby - Fine & Cold - 15kts WNW
Up early this morning for the first day of racing in the Cumberland Cup Teams Racing event. Today I (Andrew) am just acting as reserve/support. I was able to get out on one of the supprt rib's for most of the day. This was great! I was able to get some good photo's and some reasonable GoPro video (which I will put up on the Swagman Sailing YouTube channel soon). The team had some good close racing, however weren't able to convert it into any wins.

After the sailing we had a free night and we wandered down the road into Knightsbridge to have a dinner at one of the restaurants on Montepelier Road. Vera then went onto the casino across the road from Hyde Park House with a couple of the others.
