Benjamin Verdin (16480km):
3383 days ago Difficult choice. Strand Horst probably too low water level. Low tide at homespot (Oesterdam) too late. Den Osse, no candidates and offshore decreasing winds...
Tested this spot, but was not at ease at all in the beginning. The inner dam was completely submerged and there was not much of an angle, so you had to bear off to have some descent runs.
Lost a bit of time due to incorrect trim: trimmed it for low wind (as it was while rigging), but another extra cm downhaul and mast 2cm to the front kept evt well balanced.
Too bad the angle was not 15-20° more south. It could have been much faster. But no complaints. Coming from the water at 10am with 70+ avg and a 78.01 max on the dial isn't bad offcourse. Not bad on my F51 :-)Â
When Alex stopped, he took the wind with him: game over, windshift and going home. Now it's blowing again here at home !!
