This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.

I was foil boarding off Jupiter Island and had the gopro in my kite lines. Looking back at the footage I found this little clip. The shark must have thought the foil was a ray or something. Any idea what kind of shark it is?
