Scored almost 1 hour in marginal but super steady SW 13-16 from 2pm-3pm on my 10m kite - worked hard to keep upwind. Most kiters (8) on 12m to 16m kites. 3 windsurfers in the river - Adrien, Francois and one other.

The graph says more around 16g20ish for when I was out (2:45-3:45), and that's certainly what it felt like for me. Wouldn't have been planing consistently in 13-16...

This is how I feel getting sessions like today in:

The river is always a few knots stronger than the leeward side of the Spit.
