I was glad there was plenty of wind, I like it that way whatever I am sailing in.<br />I was Very! lucky with the camera. I take my car key with me tied securely to a piece of cord - I shall have my camera tied in a similar way next time - Did I say 'Next Time'?

I was pretty thirsty at the end of six hours, hence a large beer consumption when I got home!Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209493946963010404.post-6335770120412756322016-02-15T05:41:24.210+13:002016-02-15T05:41:24.210+13:00You did well, Alden.

I can see from the photo of the skinny skipper standing near the yacht "Menace" that the strong winds were a welcome equalizer. <br /><br />Only one capsize in six hours in that kind of wind was quite an accomplishment. I'm glad you didn't lose your camera. <br /><br />Those six hours would have seemed a lot longer had it been a drifter.Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209493946963010404.post-4728021170464553872016-02-15T05:26:25.299+13:002016-02-15T05:26:25.299+13:00Wauw 6 hours, and you did it all.
