At the first day of the Master Worlds in England, Tillerman and a lot of his friends sailed the first race in the big wind and the big waves and then got the heck into shore.
No more “FUN” out in that stuff. More fun back on shore drinking Irish Coffee.
But our buddy Steve Cockerel of the “Boat Whisperer” was sailing in the stuff he loves. He had two bullets that day (sailing a Radial).
It takes practice to have fun, when the wind is really light and when it is really strong. The waves add more challenge. Comfort comes with more experience, a little at a time. If it is not fun– take a break.

ReplyDeleteYour right, Tim. This is a thumb nail sketch for a painting I did a number of years ago. The lines drawn over the sketch are for making an enlargement on the canvas. Not sure where the painting is now or how big I made it. (A problem as a brain gets older.)
