Great fun, despite making a me shaped hole in my 6m vapor... A good turn out with Bob showing us how it should be done with Adam, Johnny and Snake going well too. And very kind of Mad Dave to let me have a chance today!

Excellent day at St Johns with a good turnout of speedies.

A new PB av for me at St Johns .

After a brief conflab on the A30, Adam and I  made last minute call to try St John's instead of Daymer. Luckily it turned out to be epic - discounting W.Kirby and the Ray, it was my best day ever!

Westerly is the perfect angle for the long course giving lots of broad reaching between 120 and 140. Didn't look mega windy when we got there so started on the 6.7 and came starlight back for the 6.0.  Wasn't going mega quick on the 6.0 mainly due to the chop down the course. The wind seemed to be picking up and even though the 6.0 was no problem, I thought I'd give the little kit a shot. By the time I got back the water had flattened off nicely for 250m runs and I was instantly 3 knots faster. If only you could derig in the time it takes to do 500m!

Good to catch up not been out for a few months.

was hard work today and did seem to be quick at first.

only did 7 runs but went quicker on each one.

 

2nd Excellent day sailing in Cornwall, and a really good call to go to St Johns last minute. Good angle on a west wind, and the wind was extremely strong and gusty at times, This is the first time I've sailed here on this angle and will definetly visit again due to the easy acess. The sailing today was really comfortable and easy on the slalom gear and I sailed pretty much for 3hrs without getting too tired. At one point the wind picked up to a solid 35knots and thats when all the better times were set, as a consequence it was pretty hard to keep the nose down in the gusts..... Next time without a doubt need to bring the speedboard as this would have pushed the average up a little since at one point I did about eight 38.5 or so peaks in a row. There was a little rolling swell at the windy South end of the course which disappeared at the end and I think the course will be even better on a lower tide, there are a few dangerous shallow patches though and the fin caught twice at 37knots. Nick managed an awesome wipeout when he starting heading downwind in a massive gust.. He seemed fine after!!

Great to get home and have a delicious dinner ready for me, thanks Hils...
