drjukka (2112km):
6152 days ago First sail after a long winter lay off - good to get back out with some of the crew.
Wind 12-18 gusty at Victoria Point. Got some runs down the bank but the direction was wrong and wind too fluky.
F2 XTC 103, Naish Redline 7.0, Select Viper 37

6152 days ago Wello, Falcon 111, Nash Hawai 6.5, Viper fin 35. Decided to go to Wello at the last minute, when I saw the stations show SE. I thought most people would be there, but they were at VP. I would have been better there too in the flat water. Ian Teakle was rigging his 6.6, when I arrived and I measured about 16 knots so I put up the 6.5 , hoping I would last some time after this long lay off, which I thought would be two months, but when I looked up my data for the last sail, it has only been a month. Still for an old guy like me that is a long time of degeneration and loosing a lot of fitness. After the first two runs I looked at my GPS and saw I was on a record speed for the hour, so I kept on going and soon the average speed came down slowly and the lack of fitness started to show. Still I am very happy with the sail and I managed to sail out the hour.
