Last time I capseized was about 6 years ago.

Today in a strong offshore wind it happened again. Twenty years ago I could upright my cat in about 2 minutes: swim to the topball, swim the bow in the wind, pull myself via the shroud back to the hull, stand up and hang. Done.

At my abhorrence that didn't work anymore. I was too late, water felt like lead, boots were too slippy on the hull. After 4 times trying and capseizing the other site, I had to face that help was needed. So called the coastguard who sent two rescue vessels. One from the north and one from the south.

I was floating already miles away from the coast and waves started to be high. With two men on the hull and a boat at the top, it finally succeeded.

So, what's next. I'm shocked in my confidence. Were those five years decay of my body that much??? Was it fear????
Was (is) it dementia?????????
