Not sure what happened today? I had a couple of 33 knot runs showing on the display but didn't come up in the stats. I did turn the GPS off a few times to conserve power as the battery was getting low. Peeved.

Sailing almost every day over the last few months has taken it's toll. My feet are trashed from the straps and pads, had to chuck it in early today as the feet were red raw.

I may have to do some bump and jump sailing for a while on the FSW to give the feet a chance to recover. Maybe pull the slalom stick out if the wind is really nice. Smile

Another good day out. Same combo as yesterday S-Type 93 and 6.6 Daytona. Stronger gusts today got a little out of control a few times, but there were lulls as well so bigger sail was the better choice. Wind was around 20-25 knots, but some stronger gusts in between.... Started out on fire and nailed my first 3 gybes on the plane, thought I was going to make a 1 hour PB, but then it all went pear shaped. Oh well, I definately feel that my gybes are improving big time thanks to the GPS!

Hi Waiting4Wind, Did you combine the files afterwards?

On my GPS, every time I turn it off and back on again it makes a new file... so I have to combine files if I've turned it off and on.

If you've got a Garmin then you might not have to do that.

Hi waiting4wind, 

The instructions on how to combine files are hiding behind this link:

Mine is a Garmin so I don't think I have to do the file combining. I think what I may have done is cleared some earlier tracks by accident. I reset my max speed while I'm sailing so I know what I do for every run. When it's bumpy and gusty it's easy to hit the wrong button by mistake, particularly pushing buttons through the aquapac.

I seem to have a habit of doing my best runs first, the more I tweak and adjust the slower I get. But i can't help myself I have to try every variable. Embarassed
