(machine translated in 2023) Another light weather day
16 to 24 knots were predicted. Well it was 8 to 14 knots.
Chatting on the side for a long time, the wind should come anyway. In the end, the GT85 with Daytona 8.3 rigged.
Once on the water it sometimes only just went, sometimes I even stood completely still. But often it was tasty.
Wonderfully long rakes sailed.
By the time I wanted to stop gybe I was just in front of the island. Had a surfer behind me for a while. When I surfed past him, something seemed wrong with his set. Stopped: Mast broken. That at this temperature and just before the island... A surfing buddy of his soon came to help and he dragged him to the side. I helped here and there. Then stopped immediately.
Jurjen and Claudia were also there, Claudia surfed for a while, but quickly stopped.

Set ran well, only could have taken my 9.5 better. Sail was on the small side. |
