Went up with Johnny Vapor and stayed the night. with the intention to wake up early to catch the best wind direction.

Instead we woke a little early (3am) as the van was being rocked all over the place.

Rigged the sails just after first light and vapor looked lit on his first run. The chop after 5 seconds was demanding to say the least.

My day ended when i catapaulted in the chop at 41.8 which ripped off both my boots, I hit my right forearm and bicep which is turning purple and green. Nice to have Farrel and Vapor as an audience though. I did a couple of somersaults which i cant seem to remember. Anyway my kit survived which was unusual considering my track record.

Great to see the locals gunning it down the wall and Ian Richards who was up and down the wall like a yoyo.

Alan Cross was up to his usual exploits by owning the wall whatever it threw at him. What makes this more special is he's doing kemo therapy. Strength through adversity is an understatement. Keep the faith mate.
