Distance Covered:

Sea was over half way out when I got on the water around 4:45. Rigged a 4.7m well depowered and sailed out though some big (for the Dip waves). This was the windiest and biggest sea I have sailed in at Felixstowe. I amazed myself with getting most gybes in, even if not in control, then came ashore to rig a 4m but had better sailing on the 4.7m, as I guess it is a better sail. With the 4m nothing worked for me. I sailed with Ian and Mark, and off the golf 4 others sailed. One kiter was out doing 6-7 sec jumps.
The sea, with rolling waves and relatively smooth in between, was fantastic; if only there was a little less wind it would have been a fantastic day.
