Garda has been unusual so far. The wind has been mostly light and I´ve only had one afternoon being bucked by the Torbolean waves which I came to tame. I whisper to them but they are not listening...yet.
Today my light air take off speed was in the low fives and just three weeks ago it had been in the high sixes. I´ve been imagining possibilities instead of limitations.
Giovanni how much do you weigh? It sounds like you need to eat more if you are lifting out at five knots boatspeed!
ReplyDeleteI´m a big guy - for a moth sailor and wearing a less than ideal dry suit. Water is nasty cold. Wore a drysuit today just to look cool or just less uncool and I could feel my muscles stiffen. It´s back to the red floppy packaging tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt´s a little more than five but well below six. Might be the cold fresh water. Who knows? Mountains all around exerting negative gravity? I´m digging deep into my baggage of...mothodology.
I am sure the new foils will get you up even sooner too.
ReplyDeleteEat some pizza!
