loved this bit spooks very articulate!

Darren and I think Chris were out and then Jon d Hat was off out to join them. Within 10 minutes he was back on the beach. ‚ÄúIt‚Äôs the worst f***ing wind I‚Äôve ever sailed in ‚Äì its f****** ****, I‚Äôd rather be b****** ** ********* than out in this ****‚Äù ‚Äì or (deleted) expletives to that effect. Roughly translated Jon believed that the conditions were a little less than perfect for him.

I can just imagine john coming off the water after your description. We've all been there in the past I've uttered the similar expletives many times! Excellent stuff!

Thought I would keep my version of events brief as I knew only too well that the lyrical poet (Spooker) would be the man to paint a colourful picture of the days events. Besides, I doubt if I could write that many paragraphs without cursing.

Anyways, seems that my verbal attack on the wind gods did the trick as it cleaned up for the afternoon and the sun even came out for a while.

When you're close to the EDGE....Trust your INSTINCT....!

oooer, I didn't miss much then.

I would of been down, but I had to spend the weekend pulling sailors out of the water! The highlight was pulling a Dart 18 catamaran off the rocks (Dam wall) in 35 + knts.

Get well soon Dave, you should be right for the spring and warmer weather.

Dave is due out of hospital today after 2 operations to put the 5 pieces of his arm back together - OUCH

He'll have to learn to drink with his left hand for a while!

Pass on our best wishes for a quick recovery then.

5 broken pieces sound painful.

A sobering lesson for all though, that even an experienced kite can get a painful spanking at times.
