Very windy again for day 2 so waited for the tide to come in and launched
from the house again. Not a good start to the session as I fell in the
shallow water where the ring of rocks are at low tide and the waves were
breaking and the wind was lighter. Unfortunately after a few rinsings the
mast snapped. I then had half an hour swim back to the beach with my kit,
a walk back to the house for the car to drive downwind to the access point
and pick up the kit. I then rigged again with a different mast to head
back out again. This time I got out the back OK. I was enjoying sailing
around when this monster wave appeared from nowhere and started growing.
So I decided it was safest to get back in front of it rather than try to
get over it. It must have been well over mast high though I didn't stop for
a close look! It was a great ride back in at speed with the monster
chasing me. After that the wind dropped a bit so it was time to rest. Only
4 stars because it isn't perfect breaking a mast :)
