I had no intention of going sailing today. The forecast looked crap. I saw a little breeze in the trees at home and decided to go to Peli Point for a squiz. It looked hopeless. Decided to rig anyway and get some light wind practice, so only put up the 6.5. Got on the water and 50 metres from shore got planing. I hooted with delight .

I spent the next 45 minutes planing 70% of the time, even managed a planing gybe. What a gem! Came off the water and there was no wind left. If I'd been expecting wind these conditions would have left me underwhelmed but given I expected nothing I came away feeling like I'd won the lottery.

Made me think of Forest Gump.

Im calling bull****

So so so windy the spray just made everything white?

i can relate. did the same thing today myself and got a couple of great fun runs on the 6.5 after giving the mrs a long try with the 4.5 at roberts point. good feeling.
