Because I am totally sick of waiting for wind ( And I am sure the dudes at the beach will tell me that it was honking) I decided to have a full rest day. I got up, drank water, cleared up after my cat, and went back to bed!
Well, so it happened like that;
I decided on a small reception at the registrar of marriage, everyone was there waiting, refreshments looked tasty and inviting, and I couldn't get at them because you're only supposed to eat after whatever is supposed to happen. It was storming, and I realized that my new convertible was leaking buckets, I was all wet and had to get a new shirt. My significant other was late, cos she forgot that all this was happening today, went out to pick her in my leaky car, got a new shirt, strangely I remember a lot about that - a light blue/dark brown, kinda interwoven tablecloth like material. Finally picked up the girl, car runs out of fuel, petrol station dude has a psychotic episode and breaks my window with a hammer, heated argument. THEN, my cat jumps on me. literally(not in the dream) and that's where it ends.
SOMEONE translate my dream to me.

Hello!
I know it's been a while, and well, since I saw my last post on my Severne Overdrive 11m, I decided to give an update on that! I was on a concrete ramp 2 weeks ago, and was preparing for an *awesome* day, when this freak wave - okay, more like a large ripple, came along and smacked my sail into a little curb! That in itself wasnt all that bad, it was more of popping a batten. BUT, lo and behold, when I picked up the sail, 2 panels were totally shredded! Cost me $110 to get them re-paneled, and I havent actually gotten the time to go pick it up from the dude yet...
On a better note, since that sail is being worked on, and for some strange reason, I keep ripping it,(I choose to think that it's the sail and not me) I bought a Neilpryde RS-3 for next to nothing, really good condition, practically unused - shan't say new cos it's ancient, and really really powerful! HOWEVER, because my boom is too short, and I cant actually outhaul enough, and thus, maybe that's the real reason as to why I think the sail is too powerful.
I had, about 2 weeks ago, an interesting experience with this 11m RS-3 and my iSonic 150. I really cant describe the feeling, but with my Overdrive, I never feel too fast. I am planing, planing fast, then overpowered. But on the Pryde, I am planing, faster, even faster, and even faster... Till I jibe cos I am scared I am going over the speed limit! (going supersonic!) Perhaps it's the way I rig my sail, but the Pryde feels so much faster it's really interesting!
Whatever it is, I am STILL working on my Jibes, and just perhaps, maybe I can be a tad faster round a course really soon!
