Had a couple of days of things not exactly working - yesterday I went whale watching & saw a grand total of 0 whales, infact apart from one jumping seal and a flying fish marine life seemed to be in hiding, and the offer of another trip for free wasn't a lot of use as I leave early monday morning.
This afternoon I decided to go for a gentle sail on an Americas Cup class yacht - in 38knot winds. Went out beyond the harbor bridge, got the jib up and were watching some classic 18 foot skiffs when the jibsheet went with a bang - one ripped jib, closely followed by a near collision with a local yachtie who thought he could ignore the port/starboard rule. A time was then spent sheltering behind a headland with other yachts waiting for the wind to drop, which it didnt, before retreating to base under power.
