02 August 2006
(machine translated in 2023) What a strange day. Wind was very strange because of all the showers. Sometimes almost completely gone, other times hard gusts of 30 knots. If the wind was W/NW, the wind was stable and constant, but in the showers the wind often turned to W/SW and then it is really nothing on the side and much more gusty on the water.

(machine translated in 2023) Too much wind for the 5.3, so just to the side for something smaller |

(machine translated in 2023) After rigging, the wind seemed to disappear, but after 2 minutes of bobbing, a shower came and it was much too big again. After the shower reasonably sailed, until the next shower, a lot of wind, no wind, enough wind etc. Wind turned to W/NW at one point and then it was stable for 1 hour. Then another shower and another half hour stable until the wind completely disappeared. |
