Robs first pics In Pwllheli

After quite a drive from London the last part was really nice. Green countryside and lots of old stone houses.

We had a leg stretch at this little town 30 mins prior to Pwllheli:



Why is it that boys have to explore anything and everything?

One way of attacting attention to your restaurant! Yuk!

We arrived at the UK Nationals venue at last!
Boy it's a long way out to the water at low tide!
The dinghy park. You tow your boat from here, through the sand dunes and down the beach.
Actually the venue is quite large and you can see the yacht club buildings and marquees in the background.

Measurement and registration was a breeze in the big tent....
  so the boys went for a sail in the afternoon with our local coach Dyfrig Mon
Dyfrig having a debrief after sailing today
 You can see the marquees and yacht club from our Pwllheli home....
 We can get wifi but it is in the apartment next door so you have to be resourceful to pick up a signal......
 Everything is built to last here.....
Bit different to Hamilton eh Dad....and no Scott hasn't taken to rolling his own smokes....I wonder what they were actually talking about......
The supermarket is just down the road so we laid in some supplies. Mark here checking on what Scott has bought for breakfast.
 We headed down the road for some dinner....
and the pub had a kids menu so....Hey Dad are we actually allowed in here?
Markus, Mark and Scott went for the ribs....
 Tonight they had a welcoming party for the International competitors..(bit more friendly than when we went to the Oz Nats)
The boys were chatting to Will and some guys they had met at the US Nats.....
 when the Irish girls discovered Isaac......

While Team USA had a briefing.....

In front of the real clubhouse!
