17th foil session - 2 runs!

The east wind was shifty and just 0 to 10 knots. After doing some more work on the shed doors I headed out for a quick sail.

The foil and board ready for action in front of the new shed doors.
The old 6.5 was perfect to catch the one gust the came through. I got up on the foil, tacked and then headed back getting up on the foil again. Definitely good having that old sail rigged and ready to go. It felt perfect for foiling!

I did also get out a few days later for some slow runs back and forth without any real gusts and so I only got on the foil for a few metres in one gust. Here's that speed chart:

Slogging with a light sail and a foil beneath you ready to go is actually a pretty nice feeling. You just feel ready to go while enjoying the light wind and clear water and beautiful scenery.

I’m really looking forward to a nice consistent SW wind and a longer session.
