Swindy (10125km):
1758 days ago Shoalwater, WA, AU Foil gear, 2XC 6.5
Short after work foil before the wind shut down. A bit overpowered in some of the gusts but would have been better on the 7.1 for the majority of the time. Struggled with stability a bit but discovered while plodding along in a lull that there were a few decent lines of weed being blown in in the cross onshore wind. Saw a big fin go across in front of me at speed and not porpoising but im convinced it was a dolphin ????
Could have done with some sort of colision avoidance system today, with the low sun the mooring bouys were almost invisible in the glare on the water. Even the ones with boats attached.
Tried out the new Forward Wip bouyancy/impact vest. What an improvement on the NP one which is only a PFD
