Having knackered my 5.5 was hanging on for dear life to my 6.5. Was just about ok until I headed out on the tide - managed a few runs before entering waterstart hell - just couldn't get the sail sorted, eventually let myself get washed into the lake. Continued to struggle, then found one of the boom pins had unplugged. Gratefully accepted a lift back on the RIB. With the boom sorted managed a couple of runs before calling it a day.
