Clearing the garden this morning so only got to beach early afternoon. On the water at 2:30 right on low water with 115/6m and a bit of a walk out. Wind increased so I landed o0n sandbank to flattensail. After an hour I was well overpowered and no way I could turn, and was tail walking in chop so packed up, and as I walked back wind was top F6, way too much. Got dark soon after derigging so another reason to stop. Enjoyed some good blasts butcould not turn well, maybe just too much wind and chop. Still not feeling cold.
