After the WV learn to wind event at Parkdale the course race was called off. In the end I sailed at Bonno with a large crew. All of us had heaps of fun on a big windy day. Regardless of any one struggling with the big gusts all had big smiles and plenty of laughing.

Sure was a fun day. Recon I got catapulted on the gusts at least 6 times. Bloody sore today, but good sore

How was Lysterfield? Doable?

Burst vein Feels fine though, just looks dodgy. Any black eyes?

Roy, can imagine - it kind of funnels through there, so imagine it would have got a lashing! Good way to wash your gear though

No black eyes. The knock to face from the boom turned out not to be so bad. Maybe all the sailing at Bonno over the last 20 years has toughen myself up.
