2020-07-25 Did it happen?



OMG - the Garmin site is down so I can't upload my track.  I know I went out foiling - but without Garmin - did it really happen???



Pigeon Lake - Brad's Place

Harold's Report:

Blaine and I had a great day at Pigeon.  I was on my 6.1 and my 99 liter board.  Blaine was on his foil, first with a 4.7 and then with a 6.1.

Three hours of good wind, strong enough to set up the mid lake swells and strong enough to allow me to power around them.  I went home smiling. 

Blaine really looks solid on his foil.  No problem with jibes and he’s very close to planing jibes.  Fun to watch him progress.  Kent, watch out!

Brad – thanks for allowing us to use your place.  We saved a beer for you, but you’ll have to collect it on another day.

Alberta Beach

No report - but I see from Strava that Mike was kiting.

Slave Lake

No report - but I see from Strava that Gerry was out on this 6.6 hucker and Roberts.  Looks like he also had an overpowered session on his 6.0 flyer and foil.

Dried Meat Lake - Tillicum Beach

Ted's Report:

I had a good session on my 6.0 Flyer, then 7.0 Flyer, then my 6.0 Flyer again.  Unfortunately, I can't upload my track as the Garmin servers are down, so I don't know if anyone will believe that I was foiling or not - although I do have some photos, thanks to Louise.  The weeds are becoming more of an issue.  Once out, it is not terrible, but I did have to stop every few reaches to clear what was usually just a single reed from the mast of my foil.  Good sail - about 22km in total - that's 44 jibes - some better than others....

Lots of weed getting in and out...
