Thats better parfee!!!

After two weeks of light to very light winds I have had three days of 'full on' 5.3mtr days in Tarifa sailing the world famous 'Levante' winds. These winds just get stronger as the day goes on and have a tendancy to stop without notice. In reality it means you don't just have to negotiate the water conditions, from flat to large bump and jump, but keep one eye on the wind towards the centre of the straights of Gibraltar. You find yourself sailing 2, 3, and 4 miles into the straights to get the pure wind and the gorgeous smooth sea conditions - beleive me when I say its addictive.

The first day I sailed for 5 hours and frankly burnt myself out, so I had to pace myself a little more the last two days.
So now we are on our way home, making our way in our trusty QSW Team motorhome towards Bilbao where we will catch the ship to Portsmouth and I can relax for a couple of days.

So Tarifa by reflection - as my learned and wise father-in -law says....thats better parfee!!!
