Sailed Aloha style in Sunny skies, but spent almost .5 of 2.5 hours of initial water time stuck at area 59 ( west side of inlet) on my Carve 99 in 8 to 11knots. The water is very warm & I felt kinship with all the swimmers taking dips to cool down. ( One young lad spent the full 75 minutes of happy hour swimming and practicing headstand off the campsite beach)
By 3pm the sailing was gusty but pleasurable on Floatie Mr Roberts and fun for most everyone else too. People were sailing up to 7:30pm and some beyond then ie Rob of Sandybeach. Gusts and shifts made it hard to get upwind. In fact the 60cm daggerfin was probably a hinderess over a 30cm slalom fin I use on the high wind 27" wide. Too much drag for 15 knots and not enough lift.
Great to see FraserMc and the Columbian Tango team out Winging it and locals from the port kiting on surfboards. Slash and go duth much surf snow..
