Dec 11


2649km
Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO6 7.0, iSonic 107, MFC KP-RC-360. Wind 15G17E
Stamina is slowly improving. Muscles still giving out before I'm mentally ready to stop though. Got in some more jibing and waterstart practice sessions with a race sail. Slowly regaining confidence that I can self-rescue. 
When I arrived at the launch area, there were a bunch of guys there, including Taty Frans. Spent a few minutes chatting with him and was surprised to learn that with everything else he was doing yesterday, he knew roughly where I was sailing and that I got to spend a few minutes in the rental area getting pounded by a torential downpour. I can barely remember where I sailed the day after...
Spent time in the 'rental area' and then made a run back to the car for water and snacks. Was actually a little shocked at how much nicer (organized swells/chop) the water was after I exited the area with all the other windsurfers. Guess if I can get used to speed runs in the 'rental area' the open water will be a 'piece of cake'.
