I hit the water around lunchtime and it was quite gusty and dead south so I went out on big gear unitl if filled in and swung SSW. Then I went out on the CA103 and found the chop was pretty carzy.  The water level seemed to be a bit lower so this might have been a contributing factor.  I was hard getting any speed today so the focus was on tuning gear.  I was really struggling to get a balnced setuput but near the end I found a bit more batten tension transformed the sails stability and I could focus more on navigating the chop.  It was great to sail with Stash and Kym again.
