Photos in Mellieha

Saturday: 10-15 kts blue skies and lots of sun. A good day of shooting out in Mellieha, some stunning pics.

 

Sunday: 20-30kts gusty winds from the SWS. We were out pushing it hard, right on the 49er's limits...hitting 20kts boats speed downwind and all of a sudden...snap. The mast comes tumbling down. Carbon fibre splinters everywhere. Ben and I quickly dump the rigging and sails as we are quickly drifting out of Mellieha towards Sicily. We get rid of the rig and then spend a grueling hour or so paddling the boat back to land. 

 

However at least we had enough time to finish the day off with a good little windsurf.
