Well thank you Xaver! Big PR improvement today: 69.17->71.6! Finally a member of the 70+ club. Also higher peak speeds, saw 77 3 times on the dial with only .5 km/h difference between them. Can't complain.

Wasn't sure it was going to happen at first, since I was not really in control in the first hour or so. However, as the water level dropped the ride got smoother and my confidence rose. The rest of the day I sailed in full control with this kit, love it! 

It was actually 'warmer' than I had anticipated, and ended up spending almost 4 hours on the water. Very unusual for me in December. 

Everyone else with PR's: congratulations!
