On the 18th November 2007 we were sailing in the
Snow
at Halifax, all afternoon from about 1.30pm until we packed the
Rescue boat away at around 4.00pm.
It wasn't just little dust type
snow,
but full blown big flakes. During the break between races the
build up of the stuff on the tramp of a sprint 15 makes for an
interesting first lap of a race as you slide about over the ice
rink that half an hour ago was a stable and reassuringly grippy
trampoline.
When we left the club we had to clear the
snow
from our cars. That is why we don't tend to sail all year round
at Halifax because if you can get through the
snow
drifts the pond is probably frozen in January, February and March.
