The wind was SSE so the wind shadow had some gusts inside, but once out in the open there was 15+ knots. It was easy to get going and enough wind to almost run straight downwind in the gusts.
I keep getting better at jibing which is even easier with the smaller non-cambered sail. I nailed a duck jibe on the foil which felt really good. Looking at the GPS map I count around 25 jibes, most with nice round arcs. Most of the tacks were in the channel to the south getting upwind, and after 2 decent falls I got cold and ready to head in.

18 km in an hour. By 1 pm I was sensing the impending weather and was also getting tired on my 3rd straight day on the water. I think it might have been my last day in a shorty this year - 20 c water won’t last long. A bit of cleanup of the Mink debris in workshop attic and another nice burger lunch rounded out the day.
