Fantastic. Bilene is paradise. White sand, palm trees, clear, flat water in all directions.

First sail with the Ezzy. Brilliant. Started at about 10 am and sailed until about 1.30. Beautifully powered, never too much. The wind built and then steadied. Awesome flat water blasting.

Lagoon mouth was open so depth in the shallow section (up to 50m from shore) is roughly knee to thigh deep.

Deep section provided some nice 1 ft swell for chop-hops on a port tack.

Interspersed the sailing with a few teaching sessions (the girls were learning on an old mistral classic).

Had a second session after lunch until it was almost dark. Gybes were clean and aggressive. The ezzy is light and maneuvarable and has a beautifully smooth power curve.

Ahhh, paradise.

4 stars. As good as it gets on flat water.
