1st june solo sail

after a month of no sailing  due to work change and on nights i was itching to get out. however it was blowing 20knts + on arrival.
gary was avaialable but in the end didnt make it and he would have been valuable ballast.
i launched eventually at 1pm and broke the trolley in the process, sailing main only i sailed with a bit of caution as the waves were still breaking.
it was ok and eventually i did push it a bit more, the first downwind section i thought i was going to break every batten on the boat  lol.
after a few up and down and reaches  and 45 mins later i headed in to find out keith h didnt mend the trolley as i thought he may have , borrowing a set from someone i eventually got the boat into the berth and take the old ones home for repair. sunday no wind forecast so didnt stay down overnight.
pleased i went out either way.

54 mins++ sailing  7.5 miles
