Similar to yesterday, but if anything, even gustier. I shared the fun with Team Ward (George & Stone) Dave O' and Pete (my apologies if I got your name wrong). Like yesterday, the wind was strong when I arrived (gusting to 25) and appeared to be building, then backed off to almost a dead calm. By that time I had me 3.5 rigged, so I took it down to the water but wasn't optimistic. Dave rigged a 7.0, George a 7.5. And then, like yesterday, some pretty strong gusts (up to 29) started coming through, and Stone was flying! I was able get up on foil in the biggest gusts, most of which, alas, were quite brief. A kitefoiler joined us for a while and seemed to be having no problems whatsoever with the gusts; he did, however, learn the hard way about the sandbar in front of the Dock of the Bay , but he was quickly back up and foiling.
