Khamsin - Khamsin Day 10

We learnt the lesson the hard way. I’d never seen a squall. Heard about them of course. Googled them. Watched YouTube clips. But that was not enough. We were just discussing a weird looking cloud (grey not dark as I would have imagined) when suddenly it struck. In less than 2 noisy minutes with the sea and wind roaring and the boat heeling madly our beloved beloved Parasailor was ripped in two. We recouped the two parts and hopefully it can be repaired but for now RIP we loved you. I know what you’re all thinking. Yes we are too inexperienced. Yes it’s an extremely steep learning curve. But at least we have got the guts to be here. At least we are persevering. Anyway mood was a bit low and after a couple of further squalls during the night we are now eyeing almost every cloud with suspicion. Having said all that the sun is shining. White sails are flying. We remain undefeated! It’s taking us longer than expected but we all feel (well…mostly all) a great sense of achievement. And wahey we are over half way - almost only three digit numbers to go! That surely is cause for celebration…
