Jesus it was gusty, and I must have been mad. Left work on the hooter at 4pm and on the water for 5. And is was getting dark then! I was quite over-p so I downhauled a bit more. I used that knot out of BOARDS on my spreader, and amazingly I could remember how to do it. Cold affects the brain you see - you know everything seems to slow down and not work properly. I tried to relax conciously and it worked. My gybes were well shit, but who cares, I was going over 30 on the reaches, eeeeeeh haaa. Did a f**kin massive jump off a 2 footer. Good laugh. Then as night fell it was getting tricky. There was on other guy on the water and I could see him OK, that wasn't the problem - spotting the lulls and the waves was. I realise the windurfing is 99% feel and 1% see. Are there any blind windsurfer out there? All they'd need is a radio-link and some guy on the beach saying "ok time to gybe"
