FOIL

Well that was an adventure! I was desparate for a foil so went out with a fairly high chance of a drifter, but hit some wind about half way over to Primbee . Had a fun 30 - 40 minutes, with some good upwind flights, but a bit harder downwind. One good stack downwind when at max speed - a  bit ouch. Dark clouds came over and the wind picked up - best of the day.. Unfortunately the wind then turned off , and I was near the green pole - doh. It felt like 2 hours of drifting, paddling and wading to get back to KH, with puffs of wind coming from the N and then the S, but mostly nothing. Of course when I finally got back to shore a strong westerly blew through, but only for 10 minutes and then back to 0 knots!

Lesson here is that the Hyper is a bit small with the race sail in (very) marginal wind. Bigger foil board on order!
