Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO 5 7.8, iSonic 107, Black Project FreeDeltaRE 21. Wind: 16 G 18 E
Wind returned to a more normal direction and increased a notch or two. Water level still very low but with the FreeDeltaRE I made some excursions into 20 cm mangrove shallows anyway. Amazing feeling blasting along on almost glass smooth water :).
Blew a gybe in the wind shadows of the boat dock - really struggled to keep the sail luff free of water and also waterstart. For me there is a fine line between having this sail powered for a comfortable waterstart and a situation where the sail will to pitch you forward while you are still in the water. This will take some more practice - part of the reason I like the Sailworks Retros as they are very easy to waterstart.
