Distance Covered:

People were already out by the river mouth when I got there so it was a guess as to what sail size, it's difficult to judge the wind strength from the launch point. 4.7 was about right as it turned out. Tacked up stream towards the mouth and had a few runs with some nice jumps as the wind was building. Went ashore to put some more downhaul on and carried on sailing until dusk. Fast gybes and tacks were the order of the day with squalls whipping through to test your commitment. Jumps were not so easy to come by as the ramps were bang into wind but managed to get some big ones when the ramps presented themselves.

Good fun and not too cold but the rain was annoying.
