I came, I saw, I rigged, I sailed 'round out of the harness in a very unflattering puckered poo stance, and I made it home intact.

Survival sailing with 50+ knots registering on Holfuy and a hand held anemometer.  Deep choppy water.

Edit 

Couldn't help myself, went back for a second helping in the afternoon.  Much flatter water, modestly more sailable wind.  Same gear.

What a mixed up afternoon for me. Sailed out ALL the way to Windang, hit a sand bar and broke my boom clamp. Tried to do a repair on the water but that wasn't working. Did the 2+km walk back and after an hour and 20 minutes I was back on the water with a wobbly but hopefully good enough boom to mast connection. Had missed most of the strong wind but managed two great bear aways before I had to retighted my boom repair. Got back on the water again for half an hour but the wind had died off and my boom was loose again anyway.

Great to watch Tim, Craig and Matt making the most of it.

After work session, still had the 40-50 kt whirlwind gusts coming through but that did drop off to more managable conditions in the flat water. Low water level and lots of weed keeping it nice and flat, though quite shallow (and that shallowness was always in the back of your mind during any bearaways.)
