OMFG it was Gusty as Fark, it was offshore, it was F'Ken gusty
Sailed with all my mates today.
Hardz is only sailing at the elite level, Sam thinks we are pussies with our bull sharks so has gone to chop hop over White pointers, Mikes gone up north to defrost, Steve would rather work and Pepe just said it was crap and would rather stay home sucking on a beer (I'll give him that one).
The wind was off shore at Novara heading of at 45º to the shore eventually got out after a few catapults going up the channel, finally got my act together and kinda pointed it across cox bay.
Did I mention it was a wee bit gusty? had some interesting moments where I'd be sailing along see a dark patch approaching, sweet, lean into the gust then hidden in the gust would be a monster bullet generally coming at a slightly different angle which would stand us up and on occasion lift the board of the water.
Only did a few runs as I've broken a mast on a similar wind direction and remembered it wasn't fun swimming back across the bay so flagged it.
Twas fun, happy that I didn't Elmo myself or the kit.
Sorry couldn't back you up with the Hour Bendyman
