What a crazy session! Decided to rig my 4.5 as it was blowing a steady 30 knots. Eventually go onto the water after waiting for the heavy showers to pass and the tide was on its way out fast. Managed to set of and then it was a case of holding on for dear life, was trying to get into the harness ines when a massive squal came through which just catapulted me of the rig and I ended up 10 metres downstream. Realised my sail was to big but couldn't be bothered changing down as I had less than an hour left. Managed to get going again and then I would suddenly get catapulted again with the strong gusts. I carried on much to the amusemnt of the spectators in the car park until I called it a day. My arms feel as though they are going to drop of now, absolutely knackered!!
