It was a busy day preparing for family arriving at the cottage. I didn’t really even hope for wind as I didn’t think I’d get out. But as the afternoon progressed, we had a chance to take little Timo to the lodge for ice cream.
Then to the Launch Pad for a swim. Barely 10 knots but with the big 142L Fanatic Sky WS board and the 7m Slick wing I was off.
2.5 km and got a lot of tacks. 3 years ago tacking was impossible. Now I make most of them. Someday I’ll just be able to tack out of our channel without even doubting myself.
I came back downwind and went back and forth in the channel a few times. I haven’t done that much so did find a shoal I knew was somewhere over there toward Pine Island. Oh well….

Grateful to have my gear all rigged and ready for a quick before dinner session. We went back for a big family dinner singing “we like it here” to my mom on the phone. Then back to the island to sleep (with a few mosquitoes).
