Had a night on the pop at a party on Saturday and finally got to bed at 1.30am, so when the alarm clock went off this morning at 6, I wasn't altogether convinced of the merits of leaving my warm bed to drive to Littlestone and climb into the sea in howling wind and rain. BUT, I'm glad I did! Finally got on the water with my Fanatic Freewave 85 that I bought months ago, but hadn't yet had the chance to sail. I had a very tentative sail today - new board, long time off the water, unfamiliar spot and a lack of fitness meant I didn't go venturing miles out to see. It was a case of hop on, blast out a few hundred metres, fall in, waterstart, sail back to the beach and then walk back up to where I started from! I was well powered on my 4.7, and had some fun rides. Today was what I needed to get a bit of confidence back after a couple of months of almost no sailing. The board was suprisingly easy to sail, and I'm looking forward to another go in slightly less manic conditions on Tuesday. Sill, a couple of hours from 7.30am - 9.30am put a smile on my face today,. Had to race home then to meet my GF's foks that were visiting, and cook luch. More wine inside me now - I think I'll be going to bed at 8.00pm....

Good to see the whole Camber crew today - think I left at the right time as it sounds like it went mental after that with 3.7 weather and blinding rain.
