Not as busy on the weekend as expected after recent poor wind. Out bit after 11am on 95l and 6m and shortie playing with fin combinations: 25cm would not get upwind well enough; 25cm + thrusters was too much fin, and 21.5cm with thrusters worked best. Had a lunch break just after 1pm as wind died and wind turned a bit more E (medium F4).
Wind came back after 2pm and sailed until just after 4pm with 4/3 suit. Harbour wall had consistent wind as it turned a bit patchy in afternoon. Waves small and messed with chop at low tide. I tried a few turns and made some progress.
Tried some sunglasses on the water but they misted with sun cream on the inside somehow.
Tired and just about 4*
