This day was going to be another low fun scale day, but at 4:45, I just finally got fed up and rigged up my 6.6 and had a good hour. I had waited on the beach for about 3 hours, hoping it would pick up and my 5.4 would work. It was wasted time, though, time I could have used sailing!

It was a good hour, but I didn't do great on jibes or jumps. I did pull off one duck jibe on the outside. That was pretty cool. I did feel awkward most of the time, though, putting too much back foot pressure and pulling awkwardly on the sail. It could have been a fin that was too small.
