Another day on the water, that's five straight now ;-)

Jules and Al went out with the 5.0m and my big board and we hired a fanatic Viper and 3.5m Starboard rig for Joe to have a first go at windsurfing. They all had fun out there.

Then I went for the 9.0m Dragster and had a good session blasting out into the Iijsselmeer buzzing past some of the many yachts out today. One or two others had big sails too and lots of others were slogging about in the shallow.

Again lots of kites out about 20+ but not moving so fast today and no airs in sight.

My session was good, well powered up most of the time with just the occasional lull which only mattered if I was coming out of a tack or gybe, otherwise I could just out run the lulls if already powered up. Lots of decent gybes on the outside and a fair few tacks to stay up wind.

Good fun now I need some more beer ;-) Forcast for tomoz is the same as today but more sun.....
