23.1

Lots of sailing recently, not much blogging. Possibly the way things should be? Last weekend was the Axebridge open, great fun and well attended by all, thanks to MC for organising! Managed to get out in Poole with Rodders Monday, and Thursady. Moth sailing is the perfect antidote to a day at work. Cracked foiling gybes on the first session, which I'm over the moon about, even if I am a bit behind the times, as the fack seems to be where the cool kids are at. James and I had three days practise at Weston at the weekend, although I didn't get much sailing in Saturday/Monday for a number of reasons (mostly self induced). We had a very valuable session on Sunday though, with a real mix of conditions, and some interesting chop. For me training with James is excellent as he is far more disciplined than myself, forcing me into proper tuning runs etc which are enlightening. Plus I did another PB of 23.1 - not lacking in top end, just need to work on the marginal stuff! Ed and Myles were out in their new F18 too, still working it up but it should be fun to race them over the comming months! Lots of good pictures on Adam Mays blog, and The Bristol Moths blog.
