After a good sleep dreaming of foiling the crew woke up to some Eggs Benedict for breakfast.
 |
| A good start to the day |
With the north wind being a bit light and gusty, we started with a boat tour out to the Bay to learn the safe windsurf / kite / foiling areas. The tour included a visit to the Dead Island channel, a walk on Oma’s island, a bit of prop damage (my first in 140 hours on the new boat).
 |
| Dinged it |
Then we walked a bit of the fire area up the Pickerel River.
A nice burger lunch was on deck at the Launch Pad as we got ready for an afternoon of foiling.
 |
| Sketchy BBQ! |
 |
| Good burgers |
 |
| Chuck went SUPing |
 |
| Others caught some shut eye |
 |
| A barrel fire kept us all warm |
A while later everyone took turns behind the big Seadoo on the big 140l Fanatic Stingray board with the 99cm slingshot foil. We had a 100% success rate - but just didn’t get photos of everyone.

And then the wind shifted to west right at 6pm in time for a quick wind foil session. I did two perfect jibes - it is amazing how much better I am when someone is watching. I came into the point and gave Steve the board. He did very nicely as well on the 27 year old NP V6 sail and 140l Stingray and 99cm foil.
 |
| A nice little foil session - with two great jibes to start |
 |
Kept my speed in the first two jibes!
|
 |
| Gusty NW changed to steady West wind at 5:30 pm |
Back to the cottage for a BBQ pork dinner (extra salad for me), then some euchre.
 |
| Dinner time - you can even see Bryan in the reflection |
Everyone turned in for a nice sleep feeling sun and windburned. And stoked for the forecast for Tuesday…
