Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO 5 7.8, iSonic 107, Drake carbon slalom 38. Wind: 15 knots and dropping...
Pretty much missed the wind today. Died about the time I got to the bay. Got in a total of four runs today - all nice runs to the north and then slog all the way back to the launch area. The slogging was caused, in part, by snagging with the fin a lot of floating weeds. These weeds are not typical for Lac Bay...
Little-by-Little: Did have one jibe where I had enough entry speed to almost make a 'half Roo' laydown jibe (By this I mean the mast was maybe at a 45 degree angle with the water instead of parallel to it). Got the feel for being more agressive with the laydown but was concentrating so much on laying the mast/boom down that forgot to move my front hand towards the mast so when I pulled the sail up and started to flip it, the boom was too far away for me to grab.
