Super strong winds all day in Cornwall but it would have been unfair to leave go out all day for a second day in a row.

Still got a quick hour in the evening in the dying wind on the Formula. This mast  I broke yesterday but after cutting an inch off the top section I rigged the sail with gritted teeth and full downhaul. Fortunately all was ok and the mast worked great. On the water at 7.30pm and off by 8.30ish. A beautiful evening and warm water!
