 Details Arrived to 15-18kts but some holes. If I wasn't such a pussy I would have rigged the 6.0m butt decided I would rather pump between lulls than be over powered. Probably wrong choice today. I knew the wind was going to get lighter and knew the big board need more power but apparently didn't listen to those thoughts and went with the 5.2m Flyer. All in all it was a pretty good session but was super gusty and holey. At one point I was ripping along and instantly there was nothing and I couldn't get out of the harness so bailed. >>dislike<< only crash all session but lots of schlog between gusts. Still travelled over 25kms but could have gone 50 if I would have rigged bigger. To begin the sun was directly in my eyes on port tack so had to either pinch up or go further off the wind. Lots of tide going out today which made getting up on the foil heading South much tougher than going against it. I don't remember IV being so holey on the NE but CP looked to have died earlier so went with the site that had wind. Came in after an hour as there was a big lull. Chatted with MtnarG about which whiskey was best to warm fingers. He looked to be going really well each time I looked and was on his 6.0m. He was packing up but wind looked to be coming back so I decided to head out again but was too lazy-Bobson to rig bigger. Got another 20 mins then decided to call it and go grab a coffee at Timmies to warm my belly!! Hoping for more this weekend. Flex Fridays are pretty good. Bonus was I think I got a sun tan today. BOBSON OUT!! [from Sailing Log on Friday February 24, 2023]
