Was it worth it?

Just before our departure from the cottage, it looked like the wind was filling in a bit from the southwest.  I loaded up the boat and took out the Techno and my 7&9m sails.

The wind was reading 11-15 knots, and I got planing a few times.15 knots is 28 km/h, and I topped out at 37 km/h or 132% of the max wind speed.  I think that will become a new goal, trying to get to a higher ratio of max board speed vs. max windspeed.

I only sailed for a half hour, did 9.1 km and then headed in. From the moment I stopped sailing, it takes me just under 20 minutes to de-rig and get back to my family.  So 20 minutes set up, plane for just 15 of 30 minutes, then 20 minutes to return. After a week back in the city now, I think it was worth it.

I think it was worth it even if I only planed half the time.
