Hello.... It's been a wee while...
Had a good sail at the sailing club today. A three race day. The wind was up and down and shiting all over the place, which isn't unusual for the castle loch. The main difference from the usual experience was the size of the ups... The gusts were getting pretty vicious.
The first race was ok but not outstanding, I think I was fifth on handicap in the end. We had a break between the first and second races and when we went out again the wind had eased considerably....
By the time we came to the start the wind had picked up again, and was variable throughout the race. I managed to clock myself on the head before the start which wasn't ideal, but the race was ok. I think I was second in this one. Which is nice.....
The third race was preceded by another vicious increase in the wind. I was getting a bit tired and dehydrated so I headed for shore after one lap...
All in all it was a pretty satisfying, as I feel my performance was ok at this stage in proceedings.
