lauren pratice 27th april 2013

wind was forecast f4 to f5
waves were crashing in on the beach as we launched.
we did some good upwind and reaching work and downwind as well. at one time we got under the cliffs and found a hole in the wind . when we got going the gusts kept us on our toes, having to head up to avoid going over. lauren eventually went out on the wire after hiking out for ages. when it was time to come ashore we had to wait for other boats. we stood off the beach by circling around and drifting eventually i drove the boat up the beach as i didnt think spinning the boat around head to wind was possible in the conditions. everything was ok after and we breathed a sigh of relief.
lauren did well and is doing a lot better.
time on water 1h20. distance 8.45. miles top speed 15.9 knts
