Got to bed sick or go sailing? I thought "I'll take it real slow" and found a little adreneline cuts all the symptoms! Best I'd felt all week and best fun I've ever had in Bazan - wind was a bit gusty and some dead holes, but planing every run, sometimes all the way down the bay. Almost Nitinat conditions at times. When the wind was up some of the chop started to smooth out and get better spaced, then fun slalom-type blasting. Would have been a real blast on a 100 l board. 28 km sailed, finally over 40 kmph for 1st time all winter. Made one fully planing jibe, almost on a couple (12-14 kmph for a few seconds). Rigged the 7.5 really flat so only overpowered on the strongest gusts. Shoulda worn gloves, only 7 or 8 degrees.
