Lovely Royal day. Clear blue sky and a good breeze. In the morning it was very cold: 12 degrees. Later it got warmer and warmer. Wind was east, so gusty.

Started with the Skate because east wind is often gusty and I couldn't properly assess the wind on the side. Wind proved strong so back for the JP FSW 84. |

According to Jurjen, an FSW would also be good to sail with a Hurricane. Okay, let's test the 30cm SRA. It worked out well if I had enough pressure, but that was disappointing. Wind seemed to be blowing in. Back to the side for something else. |

Set went well. A lot of jumping, sometimes some raks max speed after Hans or Martijn. Sometimes just too big, more often really on the small side. East wind... |

In the morning we had already come across a pole a few times, broken tree. Very dangerous for boards. So together with Hans we looked for the tree and tied a jerry can to it. |

Just been tearing up. The Hurricane SRA 30cm does very well. Didn't have a spinout. Eventually stopped dead. I still had energy left over for the move in the coming weeks. |
