On the water by 7am after rigging in the dark, good turnout of speedies with the same idea of banging in some early times before the tide breach, really nice wind strength on the wall of about 35-40 knots and super broad angle made it a bit of a tester. 

After a few runs the Kirby killer chop seemed to take over, even tho the wind angle itself  was about perfect. 

Respect to everyone who  gave it a go and to Zara for her PB max of the day.

Tried to get out for 0700 but still to dark on the south coast, eventually got out but snapped harness line and wind shifted shortly after. Game over.

I got out today......slogged upwind just in time to find a kite board out near the rusty boat. Took it to shore, gave it to the fool who lost it. Went back out and found another, took it to shore gave it to another fool and then the wind went. Never again.  Talk about karma, I knew I was doing the wrong thing rescuing them, they would have drifted downwind to the Academy and could have been used to carry foodstuffs and cups of tea (or coffee) around the cafe.

Gutted, not even worth opening the aquapack for let alone posting
