(machine translated in 2023) Light weather evening session
Between about 16:30 and 19:30 to 20 knots of wind was predicted, but it was disappointing, finally a shower came at 19:15, but by then everyone was already off the water. Then the wind was 20 knots, but before that it was 12 to 15 knots.
On arrival rain and no wind, to a cup of tea in Martijn's camper only 6.7 rigged. Should be enough if you looked at the prediction. To be on the safe side, the HTS is done underneath, wider so plan earlier. Well I could plan, but it was on my toes and to some pumping. It just didn't hold up. Anyway I went to the side for a larger set. So rigged the Daytona 8.3 and sailed on for another hour. It didn't really get hot, a very dark cloud was coming. There could be thunderstorms in there. Quickly went to the side and quickly rigged. I was barely in the car when the downpour fell and the wind increased to 20 knots or more. Not exactly a super afternoon, unfortunately.
