Out for a gentle sail in what the weather man said would be 8-10 knot winds. The promised wind did not fill in! So we just ambled around at 2 knots! Still nice to be back on the water, with sun also.
Good fun coming back into the harbor!! The swells were around 6-8'. They were from the hurricane down in Mexico. It is the first time I have "surfed" down waves. Made all the more exciting because of the rock walls of the breakwaters.. So, no real escape route. Just had to hold on. It was a rare blend of adrenaline, excitement and just raw fear! One of those experiences that one will not forget.
You sail, you learn! Always adding to the experience column.... Great fun in retrospect. I think the margin between 'fun' and a problem were a little closer than I wanted!
