Back from the States: 7+ hrs at Surfdale

Making up for being away for 2 weeks I spent the day at Surfdale on the 5.4 m2. I brought two sails back from UT (5.0, 4.0) just in case the wind really blows--today wasn't quite enough. I tried out Ula's <80 liter AHD board, but was only able to get planing 3 or 4 times using the 5.4 sail. After several hours giving the AHD a shot (and getting worked) I enjoyed the remainder of the day on the Fanatic 125L and was planing until evening. I took a break (nap) on the grass and Calgary Mike woke me up, so I went back out in the water for another hour. Jenn picked me up around 6pm (I might have left earlier had I a car) and I slept the sleep of the dead or all day windsurfed.
