What a waste! I packed my big sails, thinking the forecast of 20-25kts was being optimistic - the sea looked pretty calm off Coogee beach. So I spent the whole session desperately hanging on to my 6.2, when I should have been on a 5.3. Doh!

Escaped with only minor injuries - a few cuts from the fin while struggling to waterstart - and no kit damage, so all's well that ends well...

Great to see so many people out again - second day in a row with 20+ windsurfers - not bad for a weekday!

Would have been good to get out. However I was stuck at work doing what my colleagues and I all agreed was a waste of time after 6pm. Grrrrr.

I don't normally use smileys, but Surprised seems fairly appropriate for today's session!
