Wow, from 21c to 9c overnight. The wind was gusty from the NW. I decided to change things up and took out the 6.2 Duke and Fanatic 122 Ray. It was my first time this year taking out that speed board.
It was weird having cold exposed fingers and warm exposed toes. The water was still warm at 19c but the air was 11c. I managed to make all my tacks. I didn’t fall on any jibes but didn’t plane through any either. I was sweating in my 5/4 wetsuit.
I had a huge run in to the channel north of the island but the wind was so swirly I couldn’t make it all the way around. I floated back out into the bay; had one last run out and then came screaming past the point and did my last few tacks upwind.

| Top speed for the year - 51 km/h between the lulls! |
I was sad to see my battery died and when I powered it back up it didn’t load into Garmin Connect. I knew that maybe it didn’t get the fastest part of my runs but I’d already seen 44.5 km/h on the watch. But what was my fastest speed? I did manage to find a free website recover my .fit file off the watch. Yeah, I managed 51 km/h a personal best maximum speed in over a year?
