Well, there was a change in the weather! It went from sunny and 18 to rainy and 13° overnight. The northwest wind was gusty and tempting. So late in the day I got out for a quick session. (I was busy building stairs for the boat for my in-laws in the morning.)
I was on the 5m Duotone Slick and my 125l Fanatic Sky foilboard. I got going in both directions and had lots of jibes. I finally started working on duck jibes again. They are actually easier especially with that 5 metre wing. I did one foiling tack and that was pretty much it for tricks. My hands were definitely feeling the cold rain and when they went into the warm water, and there was that mild tingling.

I wouldn’t have been having as much fun on the windsurfer as the wind was super gusty - at least on the foil you can pump through some lulls. There was a long slog back upwind in the wind shadow - that would have been easier on a windfoil board. Then a nice warm shower before heading back for some pheasant tourtiere with some of the family who are arriving for Thanksgiving.
Some interesting weather circulating earlier in the day.
