After a little over a month of not sailing from being sick to the coach being busy with SUKMA and all, I was finally sailing again. I kept telling myself that I had to focus. I have to observe the tell-tale. I have to understand what I was doing. It was OK for a bit until I tried tacking again........
I have this coordination problem when I overthink. Just like jamming on the guitar. Just like driving. Everytime I think more than I should, I'd mess up. I found myself not knowing where the tiller extension was at and then, I'd freak out.
Of all the times I was practising tacking, I think I only managed to get one turn correctly. I made it such that the radius and distance between the boat and bouy were almost perfect. I need to get back to that state of mind.......
Also, I realised now that if I am sailing the Laser, I am probably going to have to focus on speed because....... It's a race boat....... I've come to terms with that......
