Vandaag gevaren met de 5.3 severne van Jurjen voor Luderitz, zo kon Jurjen de 5.6 en 5.3 even naast elkaar uitproberen voordat hij naar Luderitz gaat. Het was weer mooi surfen op het poepegat, ik kon niet helemaal de juiste stance met het zeil vinden, vaart anders dan Loftsails, ook goed maar anders.

Yes! PB time again! And best of all: on home turf!

Took the day off to be able to sail on the Poepegat, which was somewhat of a gamble considering the wind direction, timing of the wind and the uncertainty of the low tide. The wind turned out quite square and the tide remained pretty high, but the wind strength was very good. Even though I still can't get the most out of these wind strenghts yet, they don't give me any trouble either. Big like.

When the tide was still dropping, the speeds were laughable and there was big rolling chop in the course. However, when the tide had changed speeds went up very fast. The first ones were set by slingshotting into the chop but after a few scary near-crashes I decided I valued life (and my kit) more, so stayed near the bank from then on. Towards the end speeds gradually increased there as well, so I managed to squeeze out a small PB.

All in all an awesome session with a very nice group. Jurjen was flying again today and was putting in some last minute practice for Luderitz. I hope you and DJ will do even better over there!
