One of those good to be alive days

Yesterday was a typically lovely winter’s day. Clear blue skies with a very strong cooling wind, perfect day to be alive, perfect day to go windsurfing.

Of course, my injury precludes me from indulging at the moment, but I still like to go down to the club and see others enjoying the weather. It reminds me that the wind will be waiting for me once I am recovered, and it is good to catch up with what others in the club are up to; makes me feel like I still belong. Even so, it is somewhat frustrating to be stood on the beach when I should be out there on the water. Broken back’s suck.

Nice pics - a sport I learned to do in wetsuit and Dover Harbour during a freezing February one year, of all times. Looks a bit more pleasant in those conditions… hope the back recovers quick and you’ll be back on your board in no time.

Thanks Pete, if I knew how many days I had left before I could sail again, I would be counting them!

I learned to sail in Sarawak and have only sailed in tropical waters; don’t think it would be so appealing in a wetsuit or a drysuit!
