Langlois, OR, USA - Floras lake
Sailworks Retro 5.5, Goya Bolt 95L, MFC KP-RC360. Wind: 20 G 25 knots
Wind slightly lighter today at the beginning of the session which was OK as it gave me a chance to practice dealing with slogging conditions. I had gotten spoiled with the iSonic 107 where I could run all over the board with abandon, and it easily popped onto a plane. The Goya Bolt 95 is much twitchier, which is fine, once I get reacclimated. By the end of the session I was feeling more in control during slogging conditions. I could, of course, have rigged bigger but the forecast was for increasing winds as the afternoon progressed - there was a minimal increase which allowed me to have a couple of good runs. That said, I really wanted to get some practice in marginal conditions in order to feel more confident at the Gorge. The drysuit with a thermal layer worked great, hopefully the cold issue is solved. All in all a good day as I got reacquainted with this gear and I had only minor cramps which were 'knuckled out' 
. I convinced my exercise sergent that excercise on the water would be suffiient - dodged that exercise pain for one day

Little by little, bit by bit, the more you sail and soon you'll be fit! Now give me 50 chinups princess! Big improvement on yesterday.

Thanks Roo . Fortunately, there are no chinup bars at this park :). However, I did catch some grief from the sergeant after the sailing session when exercise time magically appeared and I suggested I had already had a workout ... Apparently, in her past there was a distinction made between 'practice' and exercise sessions. Guess that is why she was a national champion and I wasn't .
