Day off so got a long sail in, about 3 hours. Not so windy today. At times underpowered on my 5.2 rigged full, but generally OK. On the whole the 5.2/Axxis 261 combination was just right for the flatter water/less windy conditions.

Easy conditions so good for practising. Some nice gybes but not much else really. Gybes on the inside are coming along quite nicely now, to the extent that now I expect to make them dry every time. Outside gybes still need some work. Went for one duck gybe which went big time Pete Tong, but will try to start going for them again now.

Started to get really tired around 3pm, feeling the effects of a couple of consectutive late nights, so with the conditions not all that exciting decided to call it a day. Since not working could head straight to the bar for the best part of the day on a day-off - the first post-windsurf beer, 2 hours earlier than normal. Bonza.
