Got in a sunfish today for the 2nd time ever, and first time in 8-9 yrs. Heck, haven't even been on a big boat in all that time. The winds were 15kts, so I know I probably should've waited, but of course I didn't. I spent lots of time in irons, having forgotten how quickly the momentum disappears at small mistakes, and turtled it 4 times, in about 90min on the water. I had some good little sprints in the groove, almost had one flawless tack, and learned that even old and fat I could climb back in. The first three times anyways. I was so worn out by the 4th turtle that I needed a little help, and my abs have never been more sore in my life.
I felt both discouraged and optimistic. Anyways, just wanted to share!
