2nd time at Semaphore and a very average sail.  The bom was saying 20+ all day and the minute i pulled up and get out of the car the wind drops.  2 guys packed up - they said 'it was howling and dropped out".  The tide was coming in and i thought the seabreeze would kick any minute so rigged the 5.8 - bad move.  Glugged for a while and the cross onshore winds meant that reaching was away from the launch area.  I ended up approx 1 km downwind near the semaphore jetty.  Too smaller sail and fin it took alot of glugging and walking to get back.  When i got back the wind picked up for one run and then i called it a day.  Mental note:- when sailing off the coast sail with enough canvas up, bigger fin and don't go too far downwind.   Tomorrow looks okay - might have another goLaughing.
