Yup!
I sailed 3rd 3:30 to 5:15 give or take.
Was checking the scene @3PM and a golfball hit 10 ft away from me closer
to 2 others. 8-(
4.6 Revoluition ,8'8" asd rkt,230# (15# of winter insulation!!)
Could have rigged the 4.1 and have been more comfortable but lulls and
shadow behind swells made it manageable.
Might not sail for some time....ventured to far side of channel looking
for smoother stuff and landed on my sail going over the top of a roller
wrong and really bruised my shoulder. I didn't think I was *that* high
or going *that* fast, but it sure hurt and I only hit mylar and water.
Took 30 min or so to sail/body drag in. Could hold sail, but making
adjustments to waterstart was pretty darn painful so I rested alot in
body drag position making slow time to shore. Once up I was ok in the
harness. Got in fine. I was about due to come in for a rest
anyway...so I had a good day. Best I've sailed in those conditions.
Didn't attempt a jibe, just sailed until I crashed on a wave then either
got up and kept going or turned and went the other way. Great fun!
Kirk out
