Lake Preloško, mostly 15-20 kt, last half hour +30 kt, iSonic 111, NP Slalom 7,8

I realy, realy did not think I will sail this year again! But, after -22 C two days ago, now is +15C! However, water is just above freezing point (some ice still on the water). All in all it was nice to hear again (after almost two months!) the sound of fin spliting the wawer! And, I thinki this is definitly the best speed result for this spot! :-)

However, I have to note that today I was in grave danger - maybe worst in my sailing carier. Wind suddenly become very strong, + 30 knots. The sail was to big, and unfortunately, I fell in the water in one turn. My fingers went numb in ten seconds . It was imposible to make waterstart, wind was blowing widly. For 5 minutes or more, I was strugling - not feeling hands any more, and generaly, started to panic (I was alone on the lake). Fortunately, wind droped a litlle - just enough for me to get on the board and somehow to the shore. Brrrrr... It was close, but I survived!

Wish I could send some of our warmth your way Adi, that sounds just too dangerous!!!!!

Looks very nice though, but I think I prefer our rotting seaweed to those lumps of ice on the shore.

4 more entry to come today. 4 of us was on lake Soderica, one of the best windy day this year. Great session today and sunny (after 3 days of -18C temperature and iced lake). Today was not ice, but water was excellent, like liquid death :D

I enjoyed today very much, from 11 to 16 hours, not for score but for surfing before xmas in cold continent and great wind, today with 5.9 sail.... Entries come later today, Adi don't worry, 4 more to come today
