9th March 2008 Sailing: Axbridge Wind Direction: Wind Stength: 9-12kn Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 7 Sea Temperature: Weather: Good Max Speed: 15.3 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Session looked like it might me a good one, wind conditions weren't too strong, reservoir as you would expect was reasonably flat. I did have a new crew member this week though so there was going to be an element of training during the day. After rigging up and getting on the water my crew member decided that she didn't really like it so I needed to return to shore and drop her off. I left her with the job or taking photos... Off I went on by own, now with more work to do as I had t sails to cope with, 11.98m2, but if you have read my previous entries you would have noticed that I now can use the trapeze. Well so I thought... There were several capsizes throughout the day, these were panicky to say the least, being hooked onto the trapeze while the boat was going over got me very nervous at times. The last capsize of the day went horribly wrong! As the boat was going over I managed to get the trapeze hook off, just, but as the hook came free so did my footing. I fell from the side of the boat cracking my knee on the centre board as I fell overboard. I did finally get the boat upright but thought that enough was enough so I decided to call it quits for the day. Better luck next week, provided the storm has passed. |
