We certainly got mixed weather this week! Unfortunately no sea-breezes came through but boy did friday and saturday perform. I headed out on Friday afternoon on my futura and 4.7. I was a bit under-powered, but there was squals coming through which were great. I was working on my jibing, and I have finally cracked them! I ended up ripping my footstrap off, so went in and got my 69l for a bit of wave sailing. The wind dropped as Alastair and Steve headed out, so i headed in at around half eight. Woke up on saturday to horizontal rain and ferocious winds. There was thunder and lightning in the morning, so I delayed my start for a while and to also wait for the tide to lower. I headed out on a super downhauled 4.7 and 69l. Just as I was about to head out, JK had a big wipe-out and ended bending his boom. I was a little bit worried hitting the water.... My first run was sideways at 28 knots! I ended up getting 31.8 knots, and a tired body. I'm definatley considering getting a 3.9! Lewis is back today, so we might head out for an evening sail at the Burrow.
