Early start to be on the water just after 7 with Shemi so that we could get the best of the early wind and high tide. 7.8 and 135 are a good alround combo but come with some challenges in the bumpy stuff and there was plenty of that around as we tacked across and upwind to the smoother water.

Once up there the wind was a lot more fickly and it was hard to find consistent conditions but I'm pleased with my results, very consistent and we could have just done with another 2-3knts of wind to make it fantastic.
