When I arrived, it looked still good, lots of foam, but when I got on the water, the wind already had died a bit. Unfortunately my 6.2 was in repair, so only had the 5.2 and that was too small and just not the sail for this flaky wind. Had only a few good runs, but didn't make any of my jibes.

At the end the wind had died so much that I had to swim back over the ferry lane!

Luckily half way the wind picked up a bit so I could water start and sail back the last 100 metres.
