Arrived, and watched the weird fractal chop breaking over Shore Road. Quickly realised my 5.5 was too big and talked myself into buying a 4.7 :-)

Huge gusts made this a frustrating session. One moment wallowing and then hanging on for grim death. Gusts had huge 45 degree windshifts too. At times I wish I'd bought a 4.2 instead. Survival sailing for me, so it doesn't merit more than two stars, even though I was happy just getting half way around the gybes and avoiding serious injury.
