Nice weather today for racing on the Bristol Channel. Surprisingly windy & sunny - great fun on Silverback, as always! 1st over the line. Nice that my family got up early to see me go through the lock to the sea.

#HappyFathersDay to all the dads out there! Nice race with fleet from @CBYCWales this morning. Wind light but grew quickly to 18+ knots! Thankfully, no broken bones this time! @CardiffBayYC @ILovesTheDiff @Slate_Legal @commsbird @BrynHewitt @DrumDepot @cunliffetom @RNLIPenarth

Great race today, the last of the season. We - Silverback - finished 1st today & 1st overall, so a great result. Twas windy (20 mph) but so nice & warm with the sun shining down on us. My new skinhead haircut must have helped with the aerodynamics!

While out on exercise today we came across some large wooden debris off Lavernock Point - please be careful if you're on the water in that area.

Work from home but go to the office party. That’s a real thing that was said by the leader of the country this evening. Merry Christmas.

Twas a lovely sail today. Little Minx crossed the line 2nd, behind Silverback, so that's not too shabby! Just watching le match #WALvFJI at @CBYCWales with @BrynHewitt. @CardiffBayYC

Nice weather for sailing today: 9mph constant, 15mph gusts NE with sunshine - it may be overcast by race time (1:30pm) but we may get bursts of sunshine! Lovely! Time for a pre-sail drum session! @CardiffBayYC @CBYCWales @JDScuba @williamsmbbch @BrynHewitt @owentdavies89

We want to hear from you! For university staff, CAPE has launched it's Policy Perception Survey, generating baseline data to help us understand what policy engagement means across UK HEIs. Complete the survey here: bit.ly/PolicyPercepti…

Great report & interviews by @hannahmills1988 re: stopping use of single use plastic. If @UplandsRFC can get rid of single use plastic, why not @CBYCWales?

Just to bring it home. Infographics from Un Climate Change highlighting exactly why we must change course so we can still stay within 1.5 degrees of warming….
