Windmeter got tops of 22 knots, and it looked pretty wild out there, so started with a 5.2 and even that was overpowered. But after the first run and tuning my sail, the wind dropped to a standstil!! Did some back and forth at slow pace, with sometimes a bit of planing. I finaly went back and rigged the 6.2 and got out again. But now the wind had picked up again, so was actually simply too much at times, but working at others. Should have stayed on the 5.2 I think. Chop was pretty nasty because it was high tide. And Jybing didn't work well, got only a few where I didn't fell off. Not sure I will ever jybe consistly, sigh. | ||
