I'm always happiest when I score an unexpected session. It was a cooler north wind at the start of the day but the sun was beaming nicely. I'd finished a conference call and some emails so work was all under control. No wind really predicted, but a tiny bit of SW flow and a thermal kicked in. I headed out at 2pm with the 7.0 and 9.0 and debated what to rig.
It was only reading 11-13 knots on my wind meter but I rigged the 7.0 anyway trusting the wind would build or that I could slog up to where there aren't any islands obstructing the wind. I had to pump onto a plane after slogging a bit on most runs. Even so, it was a good call and I managed to get some nice runs in before racing back to the cottage for a planned rendezvous with visitors who are only up in our area once a year. I was definitely thinking this might be the last good "bay day" and savoured every moment.
