    Arrived at Noon as I saw Discovery bump up a bit. Thinking I was just being hopeful, arrived to 6-12kts. I wasn't super positive as there looked like more 6 than 12 so I put on the big 1700cm2 front foil and rigged the 6.0m Sailworks Flyer super fat! Got out and was on the foil before the first marker, forgetting to start my GPS but remembered soon after. Continuously foiled for the first 30 mins but the wind was more like 10-13kts so came in and changed out the 1700 for the 1263cm2. Headed back out and whom to my wondering eyes did appear but TunaCan on the Tunaboat. Apparently he's traced in Foiling for Fishing.?!?!? Weird. Anyways, headed back out and took a sec to get back on foil but wind was still up at 10-13kts. Foiled around a bit and wind picked up a bit to 10-15kts and was flying. Other boats were starting to show up, DOG showed up and headed up Caddy Bay and I didn't see him again. A couple of Moth's were out just ripping. My hands were getting cold and the wind was getting lighter, H-Rock showed up and was consistently foiling in not much wind. The wind was definitely dying so I pulled the plug even though I didn't hit 50kms. oh well, maybe next time. Came into shore and MF4 was doing jumping jacks and TnT was rigged up but crying, not exactly sure what was going on there but decided to leave it alone. Wind was dying so TnT left and MF4 was either sleeping, working or pouting in his van. H-Rock still out foiling on and off in 2-4kts. Did I mention it was sunny and almost warm at the end. Feeling pretty happy I followed Rule #11 and took the shot with a pretty crappy forecast. Nice work BOBSON!! I decided to leave and go home and crack open a Corona and watch some football!!

    BOBSON OUT!!
