Day 4 on Karpathos.

The wind was already blowing like crazy in the morning. However, I wanted to take it easy this sunday and do a gas run to the other side of Pigadia, so it was already past noon when I hit the water.

I decided to go for 6.3 even though it was quite big and change down if it didn't work. After 4 runs though it was clear that going upwind and entering the course was a real struggle with 6.3 (full muscle tension in anticipation of the next gust...). However, on the course it was a different story. No gust to be found and I oversheeted every time due to no pressure in the sail. So changing down wasn't an option either.

Decided to wait it out, have some lunch and try again in the afternoon. That proved to be much faster and while Boris and me were out, the conditions were quite good. Gradually though the wind died down and I couldn't improve my 5th run. Too bad, as I was close to my PB on Karpathos. Luckily still quite a few days to try again ;)
