Barmy Xmas wind from the south had the trailer on the road linking up with Chris S at 11.00 on incoming tide. Wind was stonking but was gusty and swinging hitting F5 mainly from the west but switching to SW without warning.
The marina was being dredged so near the bank was a bit murky so waded out the JP146 pro with a 6.7 Hellcat.
Couldn't use the 120L as the wind shadow was huge on shifts and Chris didn't get going on his 89L / 6.0M.
He had a stonking reach down to the docks as I was faffing, but as I chased the wind shifted forcing the gybe.
Good reaches up and down with a good dollop of rest as arm ached. Nice flat water gybes and some nice catapults on the wind shifts. In one gust as I water started the wind picked me up and went straight over the top in the water the other side whoah!
After a couple of hours the tide started ripping out and just missed the dreaded muddy walk. Coffee, sausage rolls and mince pies with Chris followed by 2 hrs steam / sauna / cuzzi has def kicked oft the crimble...
