Reasonably consistent 8-15kts SSW - Coal Point, NSW, AU

7.5m Gt Turbo - Rs4 ( 111ltres) -39cm C3 sting pointer

 My first sail on the big gear and in chop since I got crook. I knew it wouldn't be a long one as I'm still not feeling great. A bit more wind than I wanted at the start and some lumpy 2 1/2ft cross chop. Only managed one decent gybe , ran aground on each of the ones over at the sand islands. Luckily I was being cautious and didn't go in too far.

 It died off a bit at the end which was nicer. I had to pump to get going but it was cruisier and the lake was flatter. Sailing on port tack was right into the sun. The water was lit a brilliant silver and I couldn't see the gusts , chop or hazards. I also only had one eye as my glasses were fogged up so I figured it was time to come in. Laughing

 Just me and one yacht and a cruiser.

It's going to take a while for me to get my fitness and skills back..FrownUndecided
