Distance Covered:

After having my first Covid-19 vaccination in the morning it was good to get out on the sea afterwards.

Rather different from the light-wind session the day before, though!

Arrived to find people on 5m-ish sails, complaining of huge gusts and up-and-down conditions, They weren't wrong!

I rigged my old Bee and a 6.4m (rigging for the lulls and to hell with the gusts,,,).

It was actually quite fun for a while, but the wind was shifting massively, and would often suddenly stop to almost nothing, Gusts were strong but okay and I was pleased to have "gone big".

i gave up after 40m or so as it really wasn't fun - most others did the same.
Nice to be out, but a bit shitty.
