Spent the entire day alone at Surfdale--where is everyone? Should be Xmas break. Bob and Ian took the car to Stoney Batter and dropped me off. It was a solid 6.0 day (evident from the house and VHF, so I didn't bother to bring the AHD board--but would really like to give it a try on a 30 kts+ day).
Not sure on the exact days of last two entries--been a bit busy since returning from the States. Also had several great days on the Hobie Cat, including an excursion from Blackpool to Pine Harbour on the mainland (where we drained the pontoons) then returned (Bob and I). Also took the kids out and reached a new speed record of 16 kts in Blackpool when the wind came from the north, meaning offshore and smooth at Blackpool. Also tipped the Hobie near the Esplanade between BP and Surfdale (no kids on board) during a strong (25 kts?) SE day. The windsurfing crowd was out on the small boards (Marc on a 5.0 sail--meaning I might have been able to get the AHD planing). But then the wind dropped and the boards had to go in while we still had great sailing.
