Mungo Brush, NSW, AU - a humbling step back to square one. I couldn’t sail it well atall.  JP SLW 165 - 7.4 Koyote - 28ff
A lot to ask from the big kit as the gusts were 25kts but i’m used to handling it in strong wind. Not today. Not here. That was evil. Chop, varying direction.
Worse than this was that i got lost. Thought i’d gone down wind past camp, was heading back up, then picked up a few cues after some time that yeah nah, i’d gone mega upwind.
It was almost rated as bad, but in the end i’d say still good, in a different way.
Big storm rolled in soon after.

Keen to try lighter seabreeze there.

Yep, a Huey humbling. I love it. Going back for more.
Yes it was an adventure, it was a cool feeling to figure it out and get back sailing.
A bit bumbed that i didn't get any performace rush out of it.
But, as i came back gliding in to the beach in the hole in the trees,  i nearly dropped sail, but i held on, swung around and came back up. Miracuously i'd just done a sail 360 (helitack?) thing.
I stepped off onto beach beaming big smiles to the trees that seen it Laughingi got stoked in the last seconds of the ill fated session.
