Today just reminded me of what addiction does to you. The Wolff and I drove all the way to the lagoon on the other side of Hermanus in search of SOME wind. We found very little. Rigged up, had one planing run the width of the lagoon, actually managed to pull off a slow-motion gybe and got a sub-planing run back. That was it for the day... frustration as we waited to sail gusts and lots of sub-plane wobbling with the windward rail sunk so as to not drift too far downwind. At least we packed up early enough to watch the second half of the Rugby and the Sharks managed to beat the Reds.
