It was my first ride on a beach, let alone Gallop, but the horses were excellent (despite the fact that our guide was thrown from his at the first opportunity!).
Of course in the Gallop i found myself overtaking Matt, only to find out later that his horse had stumbled and hurt its foot.
Finally we got the lake tour...
And then it was time to go....
Of course as we put the main up we were hit by a 40 knot gust, ripping out our lazy jacks.
Some hast temporary rig repair later and things were good enough to get us to Bora Bora by 8pm.
A very moody Taaha, very differnt from 6 weeks ago - with 35 knots of wind and regular rain!
