The wind was square and gusty, the water was super flat. I got three 40kt+ peaks on the dial but not quite enough to get any 40kt 10 second runs in. A better angle could have made all the difference - ah well next time ! Good practice anyway on a square course.

Late afternoon and we have a big f**k off council truck parked ON THE WALL about half way down the course. I'm on a run doing just over 35kts about 2-3 yards from the wall expecting a bit of a 'flutter' as I sail into the wind shadow from the truck. Next minute - WHAM, I'm not really sure what happened other than my speed dropped to zero in the blink of an eyelid and I take a big tumble :-( Lesson learned - never underestimate the wind shadow from big f**k off council trucks !!
