Distance Covered:

Arrived at the sea front around 12.30 and it was a bit pants. Heavy rain had obviously been around earlier looking at the car park and the wind was iffy. Decided it wasn't worth persevering so headed to Esso and rigged a 5.5. By the time I hit the water it was very windy and apparent that the 5.5 was way too big. Went out for one run in the harbour and was stacked. After playing with the dredger I headed back, had a few more minutes in the lagoon and went ashore to rig the 4.7. Back on the water the wind had dropped with some rain clouds that came over. Waited a bit and the wind came back. Stayed in the lagoon and had a flurry of sweet gybes before it went a bit iffy. Persevered but it was full of holes. Generally it had been gusty all day and I binned it. Some good gybes made it all worth while and worth 4 stars.
