Session 8: Took me 3hrs 15min to get to the spot this morning Wind was very marginal in the beginning. Just enough to get my F89 + 7.8 going... 12 kts or so
Wind was on and off all day, but enjoyed being there. Exactly one year ago since my last session at Hoofdplaat. Very dense traffic on the water (ships), so you had to pay attention when aiming downwind. First time with the Hotrod 33. Wind was too light for descent testing. However it stayed nicely on track through the chop.
Did some nice alpha's today, but all too wide . Highest alpha was almost 43 (60 m spaced) which isn't bad with 7.8 in these conditions.
Another 100+ day !! Just short of 1000km this year in only 8 sessions .
Quite strange to sail at Hoofdplaat with 3 OBC teammembers but without the usual O-plaat suspects (Kurt, Paul, Dave, Tim, Joerie, Koen,...). Only Fabian joined us today. Missed you guys !!
Ended the day with Dirk and Paul in.... yes you know where
