Feb 17 2008.. LOVE STINKS REGATTA. Canceled due to high winds.

Started around 20-25knots but gusted above 30…

A few of us sailed upwind to an island and watched the other boats flying around. When we did the downwind run back to the beach, I had a few violent tacks. I was still learning my new Mystere 5.5.

During a jibe, my traveler line kinked and I powered up ... over I went.... I tried to hang on and fought it! I SHOULDNT HAVE!!!!... Through the window of my Tornado sail I went!

I did see a Nacra I20 also missing its window at the beach so I didn’t feel so bad!

I had JUST received my righting bag in the mail 2 days earlier!!!! IT WORKED
