The wind made a remarkable shift from strangely warm and north at 4pm too much cooler but southwesterly around 5pm. (The sw wind picking up the coolness from the Bay.)

I headed out to the Launch Pad and rigged up my new 7m Duotone wing and had a quick 5km / 30 minute session on the 99cm slingshot foil on the Fanatic Stingray 140 board.
Around 6:20 I slogged out past the wind shadow to where the 12 knot wind was just enough to pump up onto a foil. My skill in that department still lacking but looking forward to a lot more practice. I can tell that the 7m wing is going to be a game changer for the number of days that I get out on the water. The wind was not quite making white caps but there were some dark gusty spots.

Water temperature had also dropped back to 10c - this due to the north wind over the last 2 days blowing all the warm water out into the bay. But at least the water is super clear!
I headed back in and enjoyed the hot shower and a shave. Back to the cottage for a lovely Mother’s Day dinner - first time this year in the screened in porch.
