Sunset 1st Day

Simon Blundell

Wed 19 Oct 2011 11:48

21°35.9766N 113°40.563E

19/10 1845

Perfect wind for a Lamma Island start 10-15kn. Slowly building to 12-18 as we left the mainland.

Sunset whiskey with kite up on a shy reach steaming at 10-11kn. Great beginning looking fwd to the forecast increase in wind over the next 2 days to 20-25kn.
