Distance Covered:

Second day and we divided up into groups of similar ability. We headed to Crossapoll on the strength of the forecast predicting the wind to swing West (cross shore, starboard tack).

Spent the morning racing the white water in the very onshore conditions. Good for jumps but frustrating as one small mistake could mean a long walk back upwind.

After a couple of hours we decided to de-rig and head to the Maze for some cross shore port tack sailing. Unfortunately the bottom track was impassable with the heavy rain reducing the path to a quagmire and the top path gate was locked as the landowner hadn't received the payment from the Wave Comp Committee. Eventually ended up back at Crossapoll but the wind died as soon as I got out.

Good day for jumps but would have been better if we'd had access to the Maze.
