Arrived with GMAC, wind was on/off. I used an ON to get 1/2 way out then schlog pump to get to the wind on the outside. 12-15 on the outside. Watched GMAC head into Gonzales Bay so he was safe. Continued sailing on the outside. Tried coming in once, got to the big black hole in the middle and stood there with 0 wind, turned and went out again. Went closer to C-Lover and foiled right in using the swell to keep foiling. Pumping and riding the swell works well staying above the kelp. Two separate people came to me and asked about guy with yellow sail not returning. I let them know he was safe as I was coming in I saw him getting back to his car. It's nice to know people are watching. Kelp is still an issue from the Outfall (at the beach) West. If you head out at the Outfall (at the beach) and stay towards Trial, you are good. If you head towards C-Lover the Kelp with get you.
Lots of schloggin' tonight, 18 kms last night in 1 hour, tonight it took 2 hours to cover the same distance.
BOBSON OUT!
Ps. Finished off with The Morb!!
