I had a great session at Minster from 5.30 onwards, despite the survival
conditions and poor sail choice. Opted for 4.7 and rigged it badly in a
hurry! Should have been on a 4.2. I had a bit of a mare initially with my
70ish litre k-bay, which I'm really not liking - but maybe I need to
persevere with it a while longer. Changed up to the rocket and suddenly
started having fun, even though it was technically too big for the
conditions. Did some fun small jumps which felt very floaty. Had a few big
spills to. It really felt like war out there at times! I was knackered
after about an hour and a half, but it was well worth it! Great to see
SteveE out again too! Felt shattered but happy on my drive down to Wales
tonight. Bed now... Zzzz
P.S. The water was minging - a horrible brown soup full of debris, and
smelly too. I'd rather not think about what was in it, especially after
drinking a few pints of it!
