Missed it today

I woke up quite sore after the 2.5 hour session yesterday. I checked iWindsurf and it was saying the winds should build all day. I was pretty sure I wouldn't need the 9.0 and took it out of the boat. After doing some chores around the cottage at 12:30 I headed out to visit my friend and sail from his place.

At the last minute I did put the 9.0 back in with all the gear as it seemed the wind was dying. Sure enough, the wind was dropping and the 9.0 was my only option.

I tried using my waist harness though for the first time with the 9.0 and found I liked it more than the seat harness. So now I might be retiring my seat harness entirely as I only used it on the big sails. I sailed 9 km and got planing a few times, but seem to have my heli tacks nailed now even with a 9.0 on a 120 litre board.

Here's a shot of the loaded boat and my upwind slogging efforts.

How I get out to where the wind is (or was)

After a slog upwind I got planing 4 times!
