| My jump on the way back after 90 minutes and 2 sports! |
It seemed like 15+ knots so when I got to the Launch Pad, I was excited. I took the Skate 108 to the point and then went out with the 5.6 Idol sail in my 2 mil long legged wetsuit. Air and water were 19c.
I over estimated the wind (or it dropped a bit) and slogged back-and-forth barely getting going once. Back to the dock without falling though.
Quickly topped up the 6m Unit wing and put the 1080 Aero foil under the 125L sky board. I worked my way out of the channel in the southeast wind. As soon as I was to the wind line, I got going but prompty hit a shoal just off the point of the Launch Pad. Ouch, my first scratch on the 1080 carbon foil. I swam out a bit and then got going again and started working my way (south) upwind towards the open south of us.

| My upwind / downwind track! |
I did jibes all the way up the channel and eventually was doing some heelside tacks and even got a couple of heelside tacks. It was a bit of a surprise to get I three of those in a row consistently!

I started my downwind run and got a lot more jibes in a row despite falling twice. I was doing some duck and spinny typed jibes. After my second fall I felt pretty wobbly trying to get going again and thought I should head back in.

| 18 kms in 90 minutes |
I made it back into the harbour on one really nice long run went around the old cribbing and worked my way back towards the dock. A last couple of jibes and pretty decent jump which I got on the dock cam.
Just after I got in the rain came through and it looks like the wind might be done for a while. It had been the windiest place on Georgian Bay.
What a nice little pre-Canada Day session.
