The conditions were nearly perfect with 15-18 knots out of the east. After a leisurely lunch with Sr. Durwood Knowles we ventured out for an afternoon sail. The boat was chartered and new to both of us and the discussion to fine tune the setup was very educational.
We sailed up wind for an hour trying a few different settings and discussing a rang of subjects. Thoroughly enjoyable but not nearly as fun as the ride back down hill in big waves along side a 100+ foot yacht that slowed down to watch us surf home.
Andrew arrives tomorrow and racing starts Tuesday with the Knowles Series warm up regatta followed by four days of racing for the main event. Rumors are for big breeze and big waves. We expect fun racing here in paradise!
