Tried to go wavesailing at Witsands but it was too windy, so we headed to Scarborough point and went on the 6.3 for a speed challenge with Whitey. I tactically sailed first meaning by the time he went on the water it was dark and he could only get 2 runs. I then managed to corrupt his GPS file just to be sure. However checking the computer results against the GPS machine I think I beat him by a fraction. About 0.5kt in both max and average. It doesn't count though so we will have a rematch tomorrow. Actually I can see it becoming an daily event as its literelly in front of the house and its always nuking every night!
***NOTE** after working out how to restore Whitey's file it turns out I still just pipped him on the 10sec average, but he killed me on 250 and 500m. His speed sailing background means he has mastered the consistent approach. I dont think it will be long before he destroys me!
