We've had a couple of more relaxed days with Poinete blowing at around force 3/4 so yesterday I decided to chance it on the Carve and a 7m. Which was fine until the wind stopped. Completely. Not a breathe. Even after I managed to uphaul there wasn't enough wind in the sail to wobble back. So I swam. 500m or so. Good job I have a decent wetsuit - the water's pretty chilly!
Will try and get some more pix up soon...
