...after a few hours out in a cranking nor-westerly i am back home, warm again, tired, and soooo happy.

i'm not saying anything new, but when you've been hanging for a good session and it finally blows hard, you are reminded anew just how much fun this sport is.
p.s. very glad i've been doing weights and jogging through the windless stretches so i could stay out for a few hours and go for it. still, i'll sleep well tonight.
