Woke up and it was windy. Got down to the beach and rigged up. Wind disappeared as the rain started and it got really cold. Never mind! As we had two friends down who were beginners we went out anyway and pottered about for half an hour. Came off to have a cup of tea and warm up (Al had gone by then as he was fed up of waiting for the wind!) and lo! it started blowing. We had about an hour of blasting (on 6.4s) before we got nearly blown off the water. So we came off and decided to give in gracefully (nothing to do with our hands being completely frozen!!)
