Was planning on fitting in an hour or so on the water before dusk.  That hour turned out to be a full on and hang on so as to help bump up the team's GPS team challenge postings for this month.  Not the fastest hour for me, but not bad considering the conditions....unfortunately had a couple of fall ins!  Don't normally use the IS 86 board with such a small sail (5.5m), but it coped well in the westerly chop with the mast track forward a tad. Wind on the wall was gusting over 40knts at times!  All credit to Pete, who hung on to his 7m, having already sailed close to 100Km!
