When Robert and I arrived at the spot this morning wind was so broad, almost side shore. Wind wasn't very hard, no swell, no waves, but a big rolling chop. We were about to leave, when Stephen and Maggie showed up, so we had a long chat. By then conditions seemed better and I rigged. First runs were ok, wind has turned bit more West, so I was able to go upwind.
Did 3 runs in a comfy way, before the wind shifted to the next gear. I was able to do a 4th run which gave me a 75km/h on the screen. Still waited for an hour and conditions got worse, I had to call it a day without the 5th run.
Hope it will better during the day for Paul and Kurt, but on the other hand, they will get their luck later on this week.
Was good to see my English friends back today.

While driving back home in France I try to folow the soccer match AA-Gent-Standaard, via the smartphone in the car. I am not a great soccer fan, but now my city is able to become Champion in the Belgian championship it's fantastic.
Guess what? at the same day I did my first 40kt, AA Gent becomes champion!
What a day!
