Not the best of wind directions but the sun was shinning so what the hell.

Bad day at the office for speed so went for an hour and tacked up the harbour to go and play in the bay. Managed to get up to the gate after a hard upwind session and could see an amazing swell outside maybe 6 or 7 foot but had a problem with seaweed at the gate so ended up on a abort mission didn't want to be on top of the breakwater!!! Luckily for me after tacking up for second run and gybing footstrap popped so managed to bear off a bit with a loose foot to get downwind and gybe to return to be beach for a quick pitstop sadly this totally killed my hour.

I think today was not meant to be 2 footstraps popped and Pete had a bit of an issue with his harness hook and then ripped his footstrap out as well but i got away with the cheaper option, but in all honesty an amazing sail first proper 1 since cracking my ankle again nice sunny day with wind (onshore but who cares i love a bit of rally driving)

Put my wetsuit in a bath of Evian natural spring water amazing results with this stuff not as hard as Dorset water and with a quick spin manged to get drying times down at least an hour must post this somewhere. LOL
