Windy July!

The windy July continues and this weekend ash and I headed down to hayling to enjoy the good weather by the sea. Ash acted as chief photographer and got some great shots.
Saturday was the better day windwise. We got down late afternoon and I was amazed to have the sea front all to myself! The tide was up but the shore break was being gentle and launching wasn't the challenge it can be. There's a tack and a gybe sequence in the gallery - the fact I can make both more than not on the 110L is becoming less of a surprise to me now :) of course there's also a gybe sequence I didn't make...
After the afternoon in the sun we 'checked in' to fleet farm campsite, spent the evening in a local pub enjoying good food and drink before retiring to the van.
Sunday was also windy but it never really got going. A few planing runs early on dissipated as the clouds moved in. Back to heli-tack practice. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. My current tip is massively stepping forward through the rig rotation to counterbalance the weight of the rig. This all makes perfect sense on dry land but somehow you have to feel on the water it to work out a new move.
Four weeks to go before Mexico with Jem and i'm looking forward to it. Must remember to buy some tape for the inevitable shredded hands.
