Started the session on my 23 weed fin. The fin wasn't raked enough fo the lack of water and the huge amount of weed. I struggeled to get going without picking up kilos of weed on the fin and foud it impossible to release it. I could only manage 37 peaks and was not enjoying myself t all....
Jacques was nice enouh to lend me his MXR 22 speed weed and things improved instantly. first run was 4 knots faster and soon 43 was on the dial. It was amazing how much easier it was to clear any weed that did find itself on this fin. I have the 26cm version and will very soon have the 22 !!
The mistral 73 was perfect as usual.
