Like yesterday but a knot or two less wind.
Great criusing around in the glass. I went with slighlty larger board and sail hoping it would be faster off the wind but there being less wind I was still underdone. But I prefer to be in that gear anyhow so no worries.
Gave a guided tour to mate Crispy but struggled to go that slow. I said, lets swap boards so i can work out what is wrong. His harness lines were so far forward he simply could not sheet the sail in enough. After I moved them, I could sail it 4 or 5 knots faster and actually go upwind. He said my gear to 'amazingly fast'. 'Fastest board he has even been on!' LOL! I think he is in the market for a newer board.
After I sailed his board upwind for him I grabbed mine and tried a few speed runs again but was slower. I guess the wind had started dropping so I went in to find just about averyone had packed up and left again!
Thats it for this month. I dont think there is any significant wind tomorrow. Bring on next week and the new month.
