Windy early morning session, too windy for most of it  First strong (35knots) N to NNE (instead of NW) we have had for a while and was great to test out the Ackerson Street channel (Nelson, NZ) on Starboard Tack. Due to the wind I didn't use all of the channel, instead just the bottom section with a slight slingshot into the rough at the end.  This allowed me to complete more shorter runs...and mainly in the lulls. Got a PB today, but really need a smaller sail and/or increase my weight (I'm only 70kgs!) to hold down a sail in that kind of wind (44knot gusts!)
