I asked a barmaid "when's the baby due", thinking she was pregnant...she said I ain't pregnant dic!! aarrggghhh! Since then I have had loads of bad luck, so I reckon she put obeah pon me..
The dip was rough when I arrived midday ish, loads out on 6m kit saying it was great and tide was still high. Didn't fancy the conditions at all, too rough. Thought I would sit it out till lower tide and smoother water. After an hour or so, the dumpers had gone and thought I had at last made the right call. All the sailors were wobbling back on their small kit so rigged 7.3 / 130 looked spot on. By the time I got to the beach the wind had dropped to 8.5 kit. For f sake! rigged 8.5 with others and yep the wind died to nothing! Cant be, so I hung around till low tide still nothing and everyone had now pissed off with big smiles on their faces. Wet the board after being goaded by Swainey, who arrived late and no chance of sailing. Did a 200m wobble out and in which Swainey found funny! " kit rigged and no sail, that's bad.... over heated in a 3/2 O'Neil with sleeves, so had to change suit as well....
