The wind wasn’t expected to get over 10 knots so the morning was spent on computers. Later in the afternoon we headed out to the Launch Pad for some chill water time. The first thing we realized was that Brett left his board at the point overnight!

| We didn’t quite collect all the gear the evening before |
Steve watched me slog upwind on the 5.0 Duotone Slick wing and 140 Fanatic Stingray board. I tried one time to pump up onto the foil but it wasn’t happening.

My no foiling wing session
Getting better at going upwind though |
Steve went out on his 6.0 Slick wing but didn’t get going either. I chased him on the sailboat which was a very pleasant cruise.
 |
| Sailing! |
 |
| Nice day for a slow wing session |
 |
| My 4.5 km sailboat track |
 |
| Pretty warm water for Sept 20th |
 |
| Obligatory afternoon nap |
After Brett’s calls were all done we did some Wakefoiling behind the boat. I had a fun run out to the bay and was crossing the wake consistently - something I haven’t really done before. Brett got good at starting on the Stingray 140 foil board and got the feeling of the foil underfoot once he got steady outside the wake. Liftoff is imminent. Steve was amazing on his little Wakefoil board, pumping on, crossing and riding the wake. (I’m missing footage of the guys’ rides which are on their phones)

 |
| I even got up on Steve’s little board for 10 seconds! |
 |
| Pretty nice local grown tomatoes |
Water was still a nice 20c as the sun set on our day. Lots of wildlife, a snake in the water, fox on the rocks, beaver in the dark.
 |
| I found two photos of the fox on my big camera! |

| Big wind predicted for tomorrow afternoon! |
