Well that was disappointing...the forecast wind never arrived, though it did fill in for a while just when I came in and de-rigged. Struggled to find power and consistency on the 7.8 for most of the session....probably needed to be on my 130L. As usual, no straight NM...today's had 2 gybes.......but as always nice to get wet...

Windrider (12854km):
1913 days ago 1 categories OD7.0, XFire90/FStorm112, WS27/31. Melville. Sailed for a bit longer than planned, so must have been enjoying myself. Was kicking myself when I derigged when I found that I hadn't downhauled to my marks - explains the feeling of never getting out of 4th gear, occasional spinouts, things feeling a little bit off, not to mention the look of the sail....still, the sail worked well enough. Jay, that 1cm extra would have been spot on!
Nice to meet Dave. Sorry it took me so long to introduce myself.

Not enough juice in the tank today. Ran out of energy after struggling with the shifting wind on the 114. Should have started with the 122.
One long run across to Dalkeith before a long struggle back.
When the wind finally came in I was cooked.
