..... see, I don't like to swim. ;)
Actually the sail was definetly too much, after probably around 3/3:30,
I started before then - but my new North Spectro was handling it like a
superstar. Actually as I recall I couldn't believe how well it was
handling it (it was my first time on it). My biggest problem was the
damn thing was going into jumps too fast for me. I also stopped going
in the channel probably around 5:00/5:30 after I was getting tired, I
was getting too overpowered, and I got slammed hard face/head first into
my mast landing a jump (#See cause previous line). Even then the wind
was still building. Anyway, the moral of the session for me was that
it's time I got a helmet. (and that fact alone probably means there were
good sailing conditions). ;)
