What a great spot this is. For sure World Record potential with the right strength and direction. I couldn't keep up with the boys and this was super frustrating. I chickened out on the slingshotting that was done by the others as I was afraid I would dislocate my arm again. My leg doesn;t bother me anymore but now my arm is getting worse again. I could hardly move it and had to bend it. this totally affected my style. I have got good hopes though I will be fast when it;'s broader as the stance is completely different. In those conditions I can stretch my arm more sideways and in that direction it does what I want it to do.... In hindsight I am happy I didn't bear off into the chop, but on the water I could hardly stand it as I had to sail with my brains (hopefully I've got some left....) and couldn't sail with my heart. I have to stay calm and prepare for the day and don't risk too much.  but on days like this that's difficult. Obviously it remains to be seen if I stand a chance against Jaques and Hans when the day comes, but I won;'t give in too easily. I am happy with my basic speeds alongside the bank and that's a reassuring feel.

Jurjen, many thanks for arranging the boat and skipper, thanks for the fun ride back. 75km over the chop, water in your eyes and 8 guys stoked about a super nice day on one of the World best spots. All in all it was a great adventure and I hope to be back soon.
