Cam, Jim and Kent were all out on 5.2's or 5.3's foiling for two hours.
Slave Lake
Gerry said he was out, but didn't say on what. He quit early because of the rain, high water, and "crap floating everywhere". He also said Eddy got out, but didn't know how it went. The wind was extremely variable from one fifteen-minute period to the next.
Eddy emailed to say he tried to self launch, but ended up in the willows.....

Lac St. Anne
Ross sailed his 9m at Alberta Beach, but was shut down early by bit T-Cells.
He warned that "at AB there are big chunks of bullrushes drifting downwind....like mini floating islands...ripped off the north shoreline by the wind and high water. Watch out for the lumps...."
Dried Meat Lake
I got home late from Edmonton and decided to head out. I rigged my 5.6 for my windsurfer, but just as I was heading out, the wind dropped.
I rigged my 6.0 flyer to go foiling, but then re-rigged to the 5.2 before heading out. The wind was very gusty in both strength and direction. I got a few runs and then the wind came off completely. Oh well, it is supposed to be better tomorrow.
Getting out through the weeds is a bit of an issue with the foil. Once out, it is not bad....
