WINDY!!!

I reached the club today, expecting an average afternoon out at sea, and then... it got totally mental! Considering that I was on my big sail - 8.5 square meters, it wasnt hard to overpower me! It was quite a bitch really, and I was finding it hard to tack, let alone jibe, with the chops and the fact that the darned board just dont wanna stay on the surface of the water. Anyhow, I checked the wind nowcast(from the nearby airfield) when I got home, and it was the highest I have ever seen it! It's usually 8+++ knots higher than what it says there so... Imagine!
