What a day. The forecasts were wrong. I'd based my day on wind in the morning and nothing later. I was at Brog and sailing by 10:15. 50% planing, becoming 75% planing. Dave Lewis was doing his thing, blasting around on about 9m. I did some OK gybes and helis and started getting a few duck gybes to work, but my feet are still all wrong....

I stopped for brunch at 12:30, and a chat with those around. Jo, back from Sardinia on a Cribby course, Phil and Befs...

Then BANG. The wind arrived.... er where did this come from?

Still on 6.5 I did some great speed runs, jumps and stuff. Saw a loop from Alex - which is rare at Brog. Mike arrives with a 2007 (yes '07!) JP 100 Freestyle. And he's switching between that and his race setup with his 8.5. He was sailing much bigger than me today. Did a gybe round him when he was in the water - which is a bit rare.

By 3 I was shagged. So I chatted to Dave the electrician and then went to derig and call Denise.

Later poor Mike's kit got lifted off the beach and smacked into a rig-anchor scaffold pole. And was left with a semi-circular dent in his Slalom board. Owwwwchhhhh! That hurt! (the wallet)


Home to watch Fereder and the footy and a nice dinner from Denise.
