Really cruising with the spin up
Extraordinary conditions this Wednesday, with gusts into the high 20s. Another bridge course. We got a late start and ducked the line to get going. After an uneventful upwind leg, we set a spin to head to the bridge and were really flying, and thankfully mostly able to keep the boat from getting overpowered. We had some trouble getting the spin down, and I narrowly avoided serious injury. A fast upwind leg followed by a more tame spin leg to the finish, and a second overall. It's difficult to make the boat go in big air, but we're getting better at it over time.
