I haven't noticed the cold thsi winter since I got my toasty new wetsuit.. until Sat when I was standing waist deep in icey water with my back to pelting rain sitting out a 45-50kt gust..Then my hands started to get cold..Warmed up again though once sailing. I dont care if everyone thought I was a whoose going for a 3/4/5mm wetsuit.. best thing Ive ever done! Ive had better sailing this winter than anytime since I've got back into the sport 3 seasons ago..

We dont care either !

After seeing the video I can see why people thought I was getting slammed..I was actually whimping out & bailing out but it just looks like a great stack on the video! Closeups would have been amusing as I was throwing the gear one way & I went the other. Landed face first once - almost got winded..
PS - I think woodduck meant 'we' didn't care if I was a whoose..

Where's the video? Would like to see.

Unfortunately my camera played up so Leo used his a mobile phone which doesn't have a zoom. The quality isn't good enough to post. Leo can if he wants but I'm just a little blurry speck.
The one time when I was getting close enough to see I chose the moment to eject....I appreciate it as it's a memory of the day..

Need to post it now sue , everyone is all
Curious now !!!! This weekend is looking the
Goods so far , after last fri , sat , sun I have
Gone back to work to recover !!!
Best 3 days on the water I have ever had

Lucky bugger..I'm going to miss Canton.There's nowhere like it on the lake for summer sailing - its still a bit choppy near the sand islands and gusty..I want to get some gybing pics before the winter is over as if I'm going to do a decent one it will be at Canton! I won't pull off as good a gybe in the chop..
Well Leo can post them if he wants ( I don't know how) but be warned I'm just a small blurry spec and you'd be best watching them small size..You can't really see how windy it is or even how I'm sailing.
I won't be able to get out this weekend ..I can sail midweek but generally partner things at weekends..b wind..blow during the week as well won't you? [}:)]
