Ariived and measured the wind in the car park as 37 to 44 knots.

In essence too windy for me.

Today's excuses are :

Sail set far too flat.

Harness lines too short making me put the boom far too low.

End result a twitchy and uncomfortable day during which I never settled in once and had a decent run - sailed the board on its tail and bailed out half way down the wall every time.

Only realised what the problem was too late  in the day and by that time I was knackered.

The problem can be clearly seen at :

The struggle continues - must get fitter, improve strength and try harder.
