It was a busy day at the Launch Pad. I took the plumbers out to start on the lower level bathroom and shortly after the barge arrived with most of our lumber for the lower floor.

I fed everyone burgers and then it was time for me to rig up and head out. The wind initially seemed better than yesterday so I thought let’s try the 5m wing. That was a fail, came back and rigged the 7m Slick which was easy to get going on.
Another 12km session and came in as the wind was definitely dropping off. I’m getting even better at pumping up on to the foil, which is nice. It was memorable because I did my first foiling tacks on the 2140 foil. It was a nice smooth ride.

| Slow speed for sure - under 10 knots in 8 knots of wind! |
The water is so clear I got a little freaked out and stopped to check out a shallow spot on the westerly part of my session. It was OK - 5 feet deep. But I did plumb the depths and wound up scratching the foil a little bit on the shoal very close to the island. I’ll need to mark that soon. Luckily it looks like the water is coming up.

| Yup that shoal is in play this year. |
Spent some time feeling grateful about all the material that is arriving for our construction. Concrete for the floor should be arriving next.
