It was a great week at the Launch Pad island helping get the materials all out there for the foundation of a new cottage and Launch Pad wind sports garage.

| Gliding in toward the new foundation! |
As Bryan and Troy were finishing up the foundation, the gusty north wind of the last few days shifted to a steadier 12-15 knot SSW wind.
I only have limited gear in the old cottage temporary storage room so I had the small 1080 foil under the big 142 L Duotone WS foil board. Not the perfect combo. I struggled to get going with the 5m slick wing. 10c air and falling in the 11c water in my 5/4 suit wasn’t too cold. Booties were nice to have.
So back to the dock and pumped up the 7m wing. That was the ticket! I started working my way upwind and nailed all 20 jibes in 20 minutes up on the foil. Even got one run in through the wind shadow of the island and decided to call it a great first session in Key Harbour since my hernia surgery back in November.

Pretty excited to have doubled my kms from my first two sessions this year. Even more excited about the construction progress on the island!
