Light wind made me think I should rig the big gun, but a winger coming in reported easy conditions for 5.0 so I blew up a wing. Wobbled out and back but Tweezer launching and pumping up to foil seconds later gave me incentive. I lack his gibbon-like arms and 7 ft stature and Everready Bunny energy that allows gargantuan rapid pumps, but I persisted a couple of times more than usual and did get going. Foiled up towards Clover for one foiling run and then slogged. Came in, rigged the big sail, and launched again in lighter wind. Still enough to foil on the big gear but the tide lines were full of that hairy ropey seaweed and snagged it every crossing, even at high foil. Drifted in over glass and watched Dog and another winger tempt the offshore current at Clover at sunset while they waited for an elusive gust. They finally self=rescued in and I left.
