The wind was still in the morning but built a little bit around 1pm as I was tidying up the Launch Pad and packing up some gear for next weeks' windsurfing lessons. 9 to 11 knots I didn't really think I'd get going, but wanted to take advantage of the warm weather.
I was in my shorts which is the first this year! I was on my Stingray 140 foil board with the 99cm foil and 5.6 Idol sail. I was able to pump up on a plane several times in my reverse (goofy) foot direction. I think because that means my back arm is stronger and able to pull more than when I am left foot and left and forward?
It was fun to realize that we actually have two turtles living on our island. I saw Shelly and another turtle we will name Shelley.
I also saw a big cruiser catamaran out in the harbour so now that is a total of two boats visiting Key Harbour. Both in the last two days! I don't know why there aren't more people who anchor in our lovely little corner of the Bay?
So overall I was out for 34 minutes and circumnavigated the island. I look forward to my next high wind day which will probably be over a week from now before we're back in Key Harbour.
