I was out today, instructing in wayfarers, but it was only touching F7 at times  (perfect for their first time sailing )------------- Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. |

Yeah some very interesting misaps: 1)on satudays the disabled sailing guys go out in the trimarans and they were absolutely flying along then one broached in a wave and pivoted about 180 degrees but luckily didnt capsise. 2) i was beating (trying too ouch!) and was sat quite far foward like you are meant to (not when its that windy but o well) and the whole boat and me all went into a wave, i couldnt steer because there was so much weight on the boat then we gybed i capsised to leeward with my feet still in the straps and was hanging upside down for a bit trying to get my feet out ;-( it really hurt !!! 3)laser was reaching fast and ran aground, the helm shot fward over the deck and fell in the drink then the waves carried his laser on top of him 4)sailing by the lee (me) zoomed completely in the wave in front then travelled down the next one a long way then pitchpoled, im sure it didnt but it felt like the boat had sorta stuck up at 90 degrees when it chucked me in! The waves were stupidly big considering its only an average sized lake! ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

Perfect winds at Oxford yesterday. I can safely say
I've never been so fast in a 420, waves spurting up through the centerboard case. Got the kite up and screamed (just a tad overpowered!!) down the resevoir, with the rescue boat left far behind... Jumping waves upwind - absolutely perfect. Whilst trapezing behind the helm on a v fast tight reach, I started to swing round toward the forstay (as unfortunately happens occasionaly), luckely, my feet hit the water, and I spent a couple of seconds water-skying alongside (well it felt like it...), until I managed to just step onto the side of the boat again!! absolutely crazy!!
