This week has been an awesome week for sailing with NE winds allowing us to enjoy locations we don't normally sail on a port tack. It began with a 6.5 sail @ Brancaster on Wednesday with Team Rider Steve Chatten. We sailed till dusk...a great feeling.
Friday evening myself and Team Freestyler Pete ( The DR)Morris had a ball on a NE wind on 5.7's and gorgeous bump and jump conditions ( except my involuntary jump/ 1/2 forward...`Hmmm') and onto enjoy a cool beer. Then Saturday morning myself and Steve again jined plenty of the Wells faithful for a light wind slalom style blast. Paul Perry, Paul Wilkins, Gary Batterick rigged up the big guns with 9.0mtr NCX sails so Steve, on my 9.0 Severne NCX had his work cut out. I rigged a 7.5mtr NCX on a Tabou Rocket 125Ltd and blasted with Lee Custance, Graham Wales and Mathew Scales who all were really pushing me. Lee especially pushed me hard but, luckily for me, he kept spinning out with too smaller fin for his Hellcat 7.5mtr NP.
It was also great to see Richard and Geff joining us for some light wind blasting and blowing away their sailing cobwebs.
...so a great week me thinx!!!!............. only 2 weeks to Tarifa 2009 - look out for my Tarifa blog in May...
