I tried an hour before and only got a slog out to the point and back. Thank goodness Paul is super committed as he went back out about an hour later to sketch winds. Bobson and I watched RuppDog depart previously, but minutes later, Paul was up and foiling after a slog long in the bay. So, I jumped in like the good follower that I am and was rewarded with about 20min of cross bay flights. Lucky I had the loaner 7m Stinger from Lancer. I don't think my limited skills would have gotten me up and foiling on my 6m Cab. Did a few laps and then found I had a hard time getting lift. I've seen this script play out before and worked my way to shore while I still had some wind. Paul followed a few minutes later while Bob stayed out and searched for gusts. Short session, but it did the trick.
