Look like shit at 3rd. Only foilers are making it work. 12m kites are struggling. I'll continue to wait in my car

Sailed around New Castle Island for 2 hours on 10 - 18 knots SE. The gust against 14m^2 main sail is pretty intimidating and nerve-racking.

Top speed of 5.5 Knots: motor + sail.

Holy moly look at that Monday wind.
