Too much of everything this afternoon; wind, board, sail and water state. Seabreeze kept building and building - initially I got the 7.8 out but rechecked the BOM which had it at 20 - 24kn but by the time I hit the water with the 7.0 it was just going off. Hairy sailing conditions and got winded slapping into a wave turning back upwind off a broad reach over at the main beach. Haven't done that for a long while. One positive though - no troubles pointing upwind being overpowered.

2:30 and the wind came in.....wasn't holding out much hope, so I rigged a 7.5 m sail and let Paul use my 145 L instead of his 88 L....that worked, in it came!
10 to twelve knots on the Western side and 20 knots on the Eastern side.... 10 or so sailors taking advantage of the wind. I'm rigged with an f....Strongbow and drugs are not going to work tonight and with a bit of luck the same "fun" tomorrow
