I returned from Hvar but I did not want to talk about Hvar. Not too shabby for the two tests in 4 days but how to sail because there is little to tell. I enjoyed as a prince but that's another subject. Sailing talking about: they are rusty. So yesterday I thought well to bring the boat in Lignano, and then exit. There was bora. But I underestimated three things. The wind, air density and wind chill. I found myself in the face over the next twenty knots with gusts to thirty. But twenty to thirty knots of cold air are quite different from twenty to thirty knots of hot air. Ignore it. Now I know. From Finally, add the factor "perceived temperature" of about -4 °. The consequences of all this came when I started to loose: I open my hand, hot wire, the boat takes off, shake your fist to block the mainsail but nothing to be done: the freezing of the phalanges suggest a quick return to port. Bora Shrew (so to speak) for an hour.
