April 19

Lac Bay, Bonaire
22-23   5.6 Race   8'4" SVF

Well powered initially and then the wind picked up to overpowered by the end of the session. Great sail/board combination for the conditions. Spent some time over by the mangroves, by myself, just doing short runs and jibing. Good practice but tiring. Went upwind and made a couple of runs in the 'rental area' but the water was so choppy from the other sailors that it was not fun. Sailed back into the 'blue water' where the waves were consistent and predictable. Made a fully powered downwind run to the mangroves from the rental area and then back to the launch site - was close to 'white knuckle' because of the speed. Two hours of almost constant sailing and I was exhausted.
