Following a prompt from Martin & Nigel, I did manage to rearrange a few things and with complete disregard for "Brownie Points" sneaked off to Weston with Axel for a quick sail in the hope of meeting up with a few of the other work shy Nomads.
Arrived around high tide to find the wind dead on shore again blowing reassuringly well. Alas the batteries seem to have failed in my annometer, so had to make my own decision between the 4.6 and 5.2. Since the waves were looking large I decided to go for power to get through them and opted for the 5.2 (partly because I also knew my harness lines, mast extension etc were still set for the 5.2).
Alas this was a mistake and I was struggling to sheet in on the Acid 78lt from the word go. As the sun was shinning, the envitable sea breeze also started to fill in which started making the runs hard work with far more air time than I would have liked.
I knew I could only afford to sail for about an hour, however after 45 mins it was time to either change down or stop. Sadly it wasn't worth re-rigging for a few minutes so I came in while body and kit were still in one piece.
Lovely to squeeze in a sneaky little blast, as long as Neroli doesn't find out, the brownie points should be fine
