Ugh. One of the most difficult days I've ever had. Just couldn't get the board going. It was always rounding into the wind no matter what I did. I'm going to give it one more Bay Day and if it doesn't work, it's going in the garbage.

Also my arms tired quickly again. I think my wetsuit's arms are too tight. Several other people were there, all smaller than me (some a lot smaller). They sailed from 3.4 to 4.5. I wasn't really overpowered, but just way, way out of balance.

First time I've ever sailed at Ropes. Good place, minus a bunch of submerged rocks. Though small, the waves were steep and frequent near shore, which made getting out with my out-of-whack gear very difficult. I felt like such a kook out there. I think I'm going to sell that wetsuit and toss that board.
