What an amazing session.

| Coming in from my session! |
Started by hopping off the dock onto the 125 Fanatic Sky foil board with the 1500 foil underneath the 6m Duotone Unit wing. That was exactly what I needed to get foiling right away on my first run. I navigated through the shoals so I could get upwind and into the Key Harbour channel. It’s amazing what a difference the south west wind makes versus the south wind getting out from the Launch Pad.
I really do need to fix the foil hum on that 1500 foil. It is almost annoying, but I’m having so much fun - who cares! (It just needs some special sanding)
I was now out and ripping out into the bay. Worked my way up past Edge Island, and got some fun surfs on the way back. Then it was threading the needle between all of the shoals. I don’t think I need to do the one near the Taggart place on Germain Island again. That was a bit sketchy, but fun anyway.

| The full GPS trail - 18 km |

| 12 knots is definitely my average speed |
 |
| A few foiling 360s and then down the channel past the lighthouse |
Made it staying up on the foil jibing in slow motion all the way back down the narrow channel to the lighthouse. First time I think I’ve done that going around the island clockwise - the other way from my last circumnavigation.
Our new launchpad building does create a wind shadow so I wasn’t able to get all the way around so came in and stepped off back onto the old dock. Dock to dock. Nice. And the webcam got some photos.

Cary came over for a beer to talk about what our construction and other plans are. I’m grateful for the advice he has given us. I took over more of the garage!
Overall an amazingly fun, beautiful Georgian Bay day. So excited to be up here. Finished with a wonderful birthday dinner for my mother in law.
Next week I have more students booked so should be some good times at the Launch Pad.
