034 -  No rain again and even a little sun otherwise similar to the last two days.  First tack was south to Boom Point along the shoreline with fair power and small holes.  The return was to the North Spoil then a short tack to the Horseshoe Spoil and into the north basin to the cut to the IWC.  Again it was more consistent planing with good power so after a few tacks BAF to the boat ramp ended  up and stayed north of the big tree on the PINS shore eventually making it about 4 miles to North Bird Island.  DId several round trips along the PINS shore between the big dunes and a couple of points further north, the beach landmark is the O&G tank battery off the highway and toward the sand dunes.  The dune line is very low and the flat water along the drop-off was fast in the bigger gusts. Screwed up and didn't use the GPS to track another adventure in Night Hawk Bay, maybe next time.
