On Thursday I brought the plumbers back to the highway. The Launch Pad is progressing! I also took the incorrectly labeled left side bathtub back to exchange at Home Depot in Collingwood. On Friday in picked up my in-laws and got back up to the cottage.
Saturday we had wind predicted and I timed my session nicely after taking my boys out to the island for a tour of the construction. It sure was windy on the upper floor.
I took the 5m Duotone Echo wing and the 1500cm foil under the 125l Sky board. Got up on the foil and did almost 10 km in 30 minutes without falling (just one brief slog.) Overall 20 km for my longest session since my surgery in November.
Toeside to heelside tacks are nailed and are fun. I’m struggling again with my heelside to toeside tacks. Luca caught some nice video of me at the point. Thanks!

| Thanks Luca for capturing the action! |

| Some nice downwind jibes in the middle! |
 |
| Almost 30 minutes before my first fall! I was correct when I when I answered 30 km/h to the many friends who were asking “How fast do you go?” |
 |
| 4 - 5 pm was great! Wind dropped after that. |
 |
| Launch Pad looks great from the harbour! (Building past the lighthouse behind us is still bigger!) |
Here’s the video:
I need to file down the trailing edges on that 1500 foil which makes so much noise especially after re-tightening all the bolts. Even better, I hope I find my newer and faster 1080 foil when we tidy up the construction storage.
Enjoyed some nice gatherings in harbour with so many friends. I think several will come join me for windsurfing, foiling or sailing sessions this summer.
