Today we arrived at 8 am at La Franqui. From the forecast this should be the less windiest day of our 3 days trip but when we arrived we measured on the beach already a tramontana with 60 knots gust. This looked promising for sunday and monday;-)
$0The storm of last week made a mess of the nice straight course, but on this long beach there must be somewere a nice speed strip.$0
$0I rigged my 5,1, Ben his 5,5 to check the course, Hans and Wouter decided to watch us firts, very smart.$0
$0It was impossible to sail normally and we decided to find another spot with less wind and a straight course.$0
$0In Gruissan the wind was much less, but after checking the wind report for Leucate we just left La Franqui a little bit to early (12am).$0
$0At the end it was a nice sunny afternoon in Gruissan, but for these speeds we didn't drive all the way to south of France. $0
