After a day of unsailable conditions, we arrived quite early on La Franqui beach. Once again, the conditions were best described with one word: nuclear. So for the better part of the day we played the waiting game. Never seen so many windsurfers hoping for less wind, hahaha!

It was already the second half of the afternoon when the wind seemed to ease off a bit and I quickly rigged the 5.6 again, which was still a bit big, but at least I'm feeling confident sailing with it. Managed to get in a few runs (and sail back, no easy feat either!) despite the wind hammering on and on. I had very little control and felt like my feet would come out of the footstraps when slingshotting into the chop, but managed to hold it together.

Then Johan came to me and told me what happened. No clue what he must have done to upset the Tramontane, but when she is angry with you, she's royally pissed. So after that I decided to do one more run in 'damage control' mode and we packed up our stuff to go home.

Despite the unfortunate incident at the end, I had a blast this trip. Many thanks to my travelling companion Johan for letting me tag along and also Ferdinand and Andries for the great atmosphere and coffee ;)! A great trip and awesome to be sailing in these warm, powerfull winds again. Can't wait for the next time!
