Day 5-Westerlies

Fairly strong westerlies warranted an attempt at Owhanake bay where onshore conditions in a shallow bay meant no break. The wind was strong, so I opted for the 6.0, and had some overpower and underpower moments. I also had plenty of jibe and tack practice as this bay is only a few hundred meters across (with dead wind at the edges). After about 20+ runs I came ashore and derigged by the headlights in a light rain. Another good workout. Written off as quality practice with a few moments of solid fun. The scenery was, of course, amazing and isolated. I provided some evening entertainment for a couple of the $1M houses on the bluffs.
