23rd March 2008 Sailing: Axbridge Wind Direction: NNW Wind Stength: 15 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 6 Sea Temperature: Weather: gusty Max Speed: 10.9 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 4.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) LOL... had a good session, first capsize for Harry, which I think scared him a little! We were up planing quite nicely when out of the blue a huge gust caught me my surprise and over we went. I managed to get over the side of the boat and onto the centre board, Harry just clung onto one of the shrouds which eventually completely inverted the boat. I pulled Harry up onto the hull and he just sat there hugging the centerboard. I think the water must have been a cold. By which time the rescue boat was upon us. Harry wanted to get in the rescue boat and leave me out on the water by my self. Which was fine although I did feel the need to roll up the jib as it really was getting gusty at this point. I stayed out for about another hour. When back at shore Harry was nowhere to be found! So I rolled the sails up made the boat safe and went in search of him. Found him eventually, he'd been in the showers for about 40 mins, at least he was warm! Good idea really, warmth was something I was lacking right now. I changed finished de-rigging the boat and set off for home in a nice toasty warm car. Good session all round though, more of the same next time I hope. |
