I used to sail there - it's rubbish! Can't believe he sailed all that way - and in the winter. However 9 degrees isn't that cold and if he had a proper westuit (5mm smoothskin) he'd have been fine!

I like that- rushed to his aid by taking him down the local pub.

When you start seeing penguins (ie 9 degrees) it's too cold to windsurf.

If I did the same thing the phone conversation with my wife would go something like- Hi honey I was just wondering if you could pick ... er i've been blown a little............ ummm I'll be home late for dinner.
