Frustrating sail

rigged 8.6 on arrival and watched the wind increase..

had a couple of runs and a 30 on the clock with the 8.6 before deciding to change down sail.

on completion of rigging the 7.8 i noted the wind looked to be dropping slightly-this was good.

As i hit the water i felt a cold shiver down my spine and turned and looked up the beach

and my worst feelings where confirmed-Lockwood had rolled up and was launching! the curse was back!

managed a run out and returned to base to change fins- by the time i hit the water again the wind was 5-10 knots and fading..

Managed to tack back to shore in a glass off..

still nice to have beers on the beach with Jelly jocks,Nauli, Shane and Cheryl

Windy when I was rigging- then as I put my gear on the water it shut down... on off planing but it was better than nothing! Wind came back in as I was driving off. Graph shows the 40 minutes I sailed... the curse is back...
