Distance Covered:

Was determined to continue yesterday´s good work so went out despite it being bang on high tide. Big mistake, no way am I doing that again. Launching and landing was an absolute nightmare and took bloody ages, with the sharp stones covered in water so you can´t see them and the huge wind shadow. Plus impossible to stand up on the inside and very messy water state.

Definitely one of the windiest days since I have been here. Overpowered on both board and sail and was struggling as a result. Nothing really went right and to rub it in an annoying Frenchie who arrived yesterday had great fun shouting/gloating at me every time he went past me when I was in the water. To top off a great session (no really....) I found out when I came off the water my sail had ripped near the top. Arse.

Gets 2 stars but only because it was very windy.
