Well, 2 for 2 for off the charts frustration factor - this time the wind was there, but so was patch after patch of thick seaweed. Not the sargassum that drops you off foil, but the loose lettuce that created enough drag to make you continually have to either pump hard, or head downwind to keep the speed up.
Hence was hard to go upwind, so no long rides.
Wind looks like it might stick around for a bit, so hopefully another try this afternoon when the salad is pushed onshore.
