April 8


Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO6 7.0, iSonic 107, Drake carbon 38. Wind: 14 G 17
Good 1 hour workout session spent BAFing. Spent the time messing with footstraps to find the best control/comfort trade-off for the front straps. May need a couple more adjustments. At least I'm starting to feel much more comfortable/in control in the chop. Jibes are getting better as well.
Taty arrived at the launch area just as I finished rigging. Was happy to see that he rigged his GA-Sails Vapor 7.1 for his iSonic 107. Since we are about the same size, at least I got that part correct :). He practices in the 'shallow' area that forms the first half of my long NM runs. I'll have to venture over there more often - I suspect it could be stronger winds based on my past experiences on the NM runs. Chop will be about the same, just more people to deal with. I should have sailed over there today but wasn't willing to deal with the speed difference humiliation at this point in time .
