Short session between calls

The wind was up and down - super windy during a few rain showers and then calm and then windy and warm again 15 minutes later.

I headed out after doing a round of morning work emails. The quick session included 30 mins on the Skate 108 with the 5.6 Idol, and I got a planing tuck tack which may be a first. Then I did 20 mins on the Tiga 257. While the 25 year old heavy Tiga was mocked on the beach, and sunk whenever I slowed down, on the 4 runs I did get I was keeping up with most of the other sailors on the water.

The boys were all out kiting in the afternoon in the dropping wind, having great foil runs back and forth.

Some nice beach houses nearby in Hatteras!

When my afternoon conference calls were done Jen and I went for a 45 minute walk and then the crew headed to Oceanis Bistro for the surprisingly good $12.99 prime rib special and then banana split ice cream for dessert back at the house. A great day even if I didn't get as much time on the water as I wanted.
