Inverloch

Southerly 10-15 kts.

 

Jp Super Excite 135 (change to SuperXcite 160 when the wind died)

Np Excess 6.9

42 cm fin on 133, 52 cm fin on 160

 

Had a good sail in reasonably light conditions.

Managed to find the only rock in the inlet!  The stack resulted in busted harness line.

A borrowed one from Old Salty got me back on the water but it was made for midgets.  I felt lke my nose was touching the boom.

Kato provided an alternative line but it didn't hold its position really well.

So, off the SHQ tomorrw to replace my lines.
