Wind came in late unexpectedly. Comments after a sleep!

Arrived about 10 to a solid 25 knot breeze that died as soon as i reached the water.  Joe had arrived by this time and we both rigged bigger and went out for a cruise with the 15 or so other sailors that gradually arrived. A bit gusty but fun.

Second session for the day.
The wind got a little more patchy so i plugged the 7.8 into the 134 which I have only used for 1 run.  Fantastic board that just eats up chop and planes yesterday.

Third session of the day.
The wind picked up later in the day while I was still on the big gear so I came in for another powerade and snack.  I had done 166km, only 22 off of a pb so I had to make the "I know I would be home before dinner" call. I had a great time blasting around with Joe on the bigger gear but he had to leave. Headed out on the smaller gear and was well powered for most of the session, wind died near the end so had a few runs on the 6.7 and 104 to make it to the 230km mark.

Great day with a great turnout of sailors earlier, they missed the best of it!
