2091 days ago 5-18kts W peel st Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU
1st sail post op and after a 6 week break + with flu
Technically I wasn't supposed to let my heart get above 120 beats until midday tomorrow..
Op seems to have got rid of the nasty 160-200 beats that are hard to stop but I was on 140 most of today..
Could be still recovering/ unfit / flu...will wait and see. At least they subside a bit when I rest.
I had trouble rigging due to 140 heart rate and had to stop all the time to settle it but i was ok derigging so i must have been more worried that I thought.. ( last time I was at peely it was ambo to hospital..
Needed to get out and sail to releive the fear..
Stopped regularly and didn't try much but I can still sail and gybe..phew..
Rigged the 7.5m - 111ltre 24FF when I first got there but it kicked in a bit and I didn't use this but rigged the 7m M1 - 87ltre iso - 21cm FF
The occasional gust was fun and the depth was ok. I only ran aground once. It started to kick in so came in and got the 80ltre iso and 20cm FF and raced back out...ouch..Oh I forgot my gloves!..Oh and my helmet...best bearaway and gybe of the day. Argh! and my GPS
Back in and got them for a few more runs..
Bit patchy for the 80ltre.
