Ever tried sailing a 101 litre board with 23cm fin and 5m2 sail in 15-17 knots of wind?

Since I learn windsurfing in the wrong order (cannot jibe yet) I decided that it might be a good practice for my sailing technique. I was right and thoroughly enjoyed the exercise. It is truly great fun bringing 101 litre board over 31 knots and learning to make the most of every gust.

After coming home to Mt Best I had a meeting with a snake - the second most poisonous snake in the world, but we parted peacefully after I tried to make a photo of it using my mobile phone.
