Not too much wind to start with - in fact Adam (who was the guinea pig again) was doing a lot of wobbling, Jim said he could hear alot of swearing.

As the tide started to flood the wind kicked in from WSW, which meant there was no wind in the launch area and 25 maybe 30 knots at the end of the course, along with some tricky chop and waves rolling down the course.

Quite pleased to get over 35 knots in less than ideal conditions.

Seeing as i had a stinker of a cold last week, i decided to wait until low tiide to go out. First run out I had 37.75 on the dial which was a nice surprise. It felt easy. After that my poor fat little bod gave up and the chop was trying to kill me.

Well done to Ads and especially Johnny on holding onto his 6.6. Youre a monster!

As the tide filled in the wind kicked in hard and the 106 at last started to feel big, The wind kept hooking under the board and lifting it into spin out. If it was broader this wouldn't have happened.

Beautiful day in Cornwall, and a great forecast with west winds up to 35knots and a decent low tide.

As it turned out the wind did not really show, and I had an extremely frustrating hour and a bit with hardly enough wind to sail. The wind when it finally came through was ok, not too strong but a few gusts here and there but very patchy and difficult to get any runs since the South to North Course was running out into rolling swell which was dangerous to sail into at full tilt. Would have been really good if the wind had come an hour earlier since the course was a lot better then. (7m probably would have been better too but you gotta rig for the forecast)

Anyway great to see everyone and get a sail in the sun with reasonable water temps.

Got home to find my wife had cooked a great dinner and apple crumble for pudding.... Perfect
