Following the theory that you need to get back on the horse that has thrown you, Chris and I went for a sail in the Core Sound on Saturday. It was a lovely, sunny, calm winter's day.
We sailed and rowed very slowly over to the mouth of Kororoit creek, beached, and had a cuppa. Mild drama when I realised I had got the tide wrong, and we were about 45 minutes BEFORE low tide, not after, but the boat is so light we managed to slide it into enough water to sail off.
We sailed very slowly over towards Altona Pier, then Chris demonstrated impressive sculling skills to get us back past the red stick, where we dropped sail, started the Torqeedo and motored the last few hundred metres back into the safe harbour. It was very quiet. I was home having a cuppa by 3.
All in all it was a low key, relaxing outing. My kind of sailing.
