Nothing particularly noteworthy today. Muscles still tired from yesterdy so just felt like an effort to stay focused. Once on a plane I felt fully powered but was a struggle a couple of times to get going.

Surreal day, water was milky brown after 2 days of torrential rain. Couldn't see the whitecaps so hard to guage the wind strength. Debris everwhere in the water with lines of logs in the channel. Had to throttle it back and engage cruise mode today, going for speed was not recommended by the doctor!

Hey, finally have a day when the numbers 'count' Laughing. Thanks for posting!

It is a little depressing (for me), however, to read about throttling back and cruise mode and then see that the numbers would all be PBs for me Embarassed. On the other hand, this provides me with plenty of aspirational goals Laughing.

Additionally, I think I'll pass on logs in the channel and muddy water, and doctors saying the conditions are too dangerous to sail. If I have to have muddy water, I can sail in the mangrove shallows, otherwise, it is kind of nice to see the bottom and see sea turtles swimming around Laughing.

It was pretty sketchy out there today, I don't normally ease up but there was so much debris it wasn't worth it for a few knots. Still did over a race distance so happy with that. Billy no mates here, 3 kitefoilers out and that was it. Looks windy for the next few days so I'll keep sailin and postin! Kiters seem to have adopted me...they all smile and wave. Might be the Slingshot logo on my sail!
