What happened today.....

Big wind, big waves, and, you guessed it, NO SAILING!!

Todays MYMBC trailer yacht racing was cancelled due to 40+ knot winds.

So, in conditions deemed foolhardy and dangerous in big-ish boats, I was itching to go out sailing. so I did.

I dragged my laser out from the back yard, and went out for a blast with a cut-down sail on, which meant that I shouldn't suffer any damage.

While rigging, a savage squall came through, and I almost changed my mind, but then the sun shone through, and with 30-something knots I launched.

Awesome sailing, just blasting back and forth, jumping waves.

Then the breeze died away to around 15, and it was time to come in.

Still Buzzing, it's been a while!
