Wasn't expecting that - what a blinder.

I'd been in touch with PaulP and Krafty about what the wind was doing locally and I was expecting offshore, big sails and gust. However, on pitching up at Pevensey at about 2.30, I found Krafty changing down to his 5.8 and the sun was out, the sea looked flat and it looked like a real bonus session. Direction was cross off, but at times cross shore. So I quickly rigged the 100lt and 5.7 and glugged out about 100 yards and then was maxed out for most of the time. The ramps were perfect and by the end I actually felt I was getting the hang of port tack jumping (at last). Nothing too high, but much more in control than usual. There were no waves, but I didn't care, it was fantastic bump and jump sailing. There were a few holes appearing by the end, but I'm not going to complain about 2.5 hours sailing in a summer suit with short arms in mid-October.
