I finally understand what all the hype is about a End of Financial Year Sail is all about.

Got the call, but had stuff to do first when I got down there Stropp and Pacey were sitting on the bench telling old war stories look decidedly uninterested in the glassy looking water.

A front went through where the ind picked up amd then dropped when it passed but I went and rigged anyway as I was desperate for a foil, the last one being the 11th May so I was a bit twitchy and unco.

Went with the wave sail out of self preservation as I didn't want to stuff my shoulder further when the gusts hit (he thought optemistically).

Anyways, the boys sacraficed me to the wind gods, the effectiveness of which had me faffing around trying my hand at light wind sail freestyle thingumes.

After a while I plodded back and Pacey made the sacrafice and derigged, Huey more impressed with Pacey's effort promptly produced a zephyr or two so I went back out on the water, low and behold I got some air time, a bit sketchy protecting the shoulder and having to tune harness lines but fly I did. Twas a bit gusty and a bit swirly but managable, so I sailed back and attempted to comunicate ineffectively with Stroppo by shouting a waving my arms like a mad basket, eventually he got the gist and started rigging.

At the end of the day I had a ball, got an hour on the water and only fell off once. So nice getting out when you don't expect it, fantastic way to end the weekend (and financial year)

Stroppo destroyed me speed wise
