Finally Wind in My Holiday: Long Distance
I had taken the first week of October off because that is often a period with a lot of wind. Unfortunately not this year, but for today the forecast was finally wind.
Marco B was also there, he was sailing with an 8.4.
The forecast was better than the real wind, so hesitated for a moment between 7.3 and 8.3.
After a sandwich I decided to take the 8.3.

GT85 with Daytona 8.3
Could almost always plan, wind was sometimes a bit minimal, but with the GT85 you can always plan.
Marco indicated that he was going to sail long-distance, wind was South so he wanted to go to the Grevelingendam. Well, I'm not so for sailing very far away in case you're sailing parts. But I went along a lot. In 1 rak from Kabelaarsbank to Brouwershaven: you will feel that, you cannot change your position, so you will feel your arms, legs, back and neck. Finally I fell out of plane because we came behind an island: more than 6 km sailed.
Turned around, bobbed for a while to get out of the lee and planned back again. Then I took a rest on the side.
I sailed on for a while until the wind became softer and I could no longer plan with 8.3. Didn't feel like rigging my 9.5 and just rigged up and went home.

Today for the first time with my AL360 sailed, fine boom, stiff, just a little thinner than my X9.

His long-distance is nice, but I think if you do that with a group it's even more fun.
