Howrah, very rough conditions on IS107 and R3 6.2. Felt dangerous, probably would have been way less crazy on wave kit. Had a few really good bear offs and had a stab at the NM even though I thought I was going to bin it for most of it. Didn't do a 1h but it came out OK anyway...

What a mission that was! Was great to have a sail back on the Derwent. There were some big rollers coming through. Was trying for a good 1 hr but had to keep restarting. My first lap I hadn't put the rope around my boom properly and the front clamp came undone, so was floudering around in the water for about 20 mins over near the Royal Yacht club. 

Was interesting sailing from Howrah, had to dog out to the wind line from the rigging area and sailed much lower than sailing off Sandy Bay, heading towards the Casino and back.
