First day of hol...no wind. But today's forecast said plenty windy albeit maybe in the morning only so we were up at the crack of dawn
and at Gowlane by 8am. We were greeted by the glorious sight of row after row of clean peeling boom-highers having their tops whipped
off by a solid 30 knot cross-off breeze. Mmmm...nice. So rigged 4.0 but first run out I was ridiculously overpowered. I whacked on the
downhaul and all was looking good but annoyingly the wind soon dropped and became hideously gusty. Eventually I changed up to 5.2 which
worked well for a short while but the wind continued to disappear to the extent that at one point I was stuck out back in a massive
lull, couldn't even waterstart, and was contemplating a long swim in very cold water...
A frustrating session but the beautiful surroundings did their best to make up for it. Sushine, rainbows, green hills, blue
water...lovely.
