Flex (15736km):
744 days ago Coodanup, WA, AU. Dial and forecast was better than yesterday so tried my luck again. Was reading 10 knots so probably about 12. Plenty of power but zero gusts so no speed. Did the tour de Coodanup and slowly made my way upwind towards Boundry Island...the vague idea was to get a nice long naughty on the way back and maybe score a gust. This grand plan didn't seem to work as heading downwind anywhere faster than 20knots the sail would stall out and I'd come off the plane...so gave up with that idea and tried speeds runs but there was no grunt in wind so did long slightly downwind NM. Nice pleasant cruise in the sun with no one else out just the wildlife for company. Same gear as yesterday if anyone cares.
