Leg was feeling much better this morning so was hoping for a good last day on the water. Also when I arrived one of the clients told me he wasn't going to sail today, which left his 2002 78 wave available for me. Nice.

Things started to go a bit pear shaped when I went out on the water though. Mucho mucho vento - the wind had picked straight up again from where it left off yesterday pm. Overpowered on my 4.6, and hence survival sailing. Could and should have been out on a 4.0 or less. So couldn't really do much, resulting in not a very enjoyable sail. Also was feeling a bit dodgy (tired, funny tummy - dunno if related to the knocks sustained from my crash yesterday), so just was not really up for it today. Came off the water after about 1 hour to have lunch, and then just started to feel worse, so didn't go out again.

Not a great way to finish my 10 weeks here then, but all in all, can't complain really..... So time now to start looking forward to sailing again back in Blighty!!! Woohoo!!! Can't wait!!!!!
