Jan 15


3035km
Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO 5 7.8, iSonic 107, Drake carbon slalom 38. Wind: 16G19 ENE
Good cruising day. Arrived a little early and got in some extra kilometers for a change. Tide was high so runs into the mangrove shallows were not a problem except I could have used a few more strong gusts :) . Wind had a northerly component so could jibe close to the launch area except for a wind shadow close to shore. Still getting re-used to the 7.8 so was a little concerned about clearing the sail if I biffed a jibe. Waterstarted twice, no problem.
Rigging note: harness lines centered on 4th dot on boom.
