El Medano - Day 4 - 6




Things have calmed down a little giving out intrepid team time to reflect, and muse over what was a monster start to the week. With light winds on day 4 with all enjoying 6.5mtr - 8.5mtr sails and some cruising........... well exempt me who decided to obliterate my boom whilst as far away from the centre as I could get. I managed to limp back to the OTC and get a spanking from Tris the centre owner.

Pria is really coming on well and I think has found the big conditions of earlier in the week has brought her confidence on in the swells. Mark has found his feet with big rigs, Keith and Charlie have been practicing their freestyle 360's and doing very well!
Rob unfortunately twisted his ankle badly and is having to rest and recuperate ......in the bar!
I decided to try a SUP ( stand up paddleboard) in the small waves. It was quite obvious I hadn't used one but found it quite good fun. Will work on this back in the UK.

So days 4 - 6 have been more chilled out yet providing good sailing for all levels of sailor
