Cracking Day.

   Wellllllllll, maybe not so much 'cracking' as 'at least I got over my meltdown'    

At our clubs Lightning368 Open a few weeks back I ended up in a 'totally and utterly lost the plot in biblical style' situation. Enough for me to not race in the afternoon and take a couple of weeks off. 

Anyway, reinventing the Roger Melly profanisaurus was, in hindsight, perhaps a positive outcome!

The weekend just gone I decided, after a bit of a sailing break, to 'just go sailing'.

Took the 600 out on Saturday on our front lake full of gusts, swirls, dead spots, massive shifts and more gusts (ideal then!!! :-\) ...3 little capsizes but it still makes me smile. TBF it was just a test float to check out some daggerboard case work I'd done.

Sunday? - a bit of club racing in the Lightning to see if I could get my mojo back. Nice breeze, good courses, nice planing, good splashage at times and whilst I wouldn't say I'm fully over it, I reckon i'm 80% there.

So, overall, the chance to sail 2 days in a row with two different boats and still have a smile and aching bones after it makes it a 'Good day' (or two):-)
