24 September 2007
(machine translated in 2023) Lovely day at the babblers bench. Wind was ghostly predicted, so safety was chosen. Afterwards the wind was not too bad, but 27 kts S / SW via 14 kts W to 21 kts N was predicted, well we didn't have that. Wind stayed in the SW corner and did not decrease that far, wind was gusty, increased and decreased and was also quite rough. All day with 2 sets sailed, Skate and Duke 5.9 or JP FreestyleWave with Ice 5.3. The wind dropped slightly than the Skate but differently with the JP. Nice day, practiced a lot of gybs, duckgybs all went well, some super tighter lay-downs in the bay. Top.
