Good wind since Tuesday

Sunday and Monday were NO wind days.  Monday morning Kathy went on a bike ride on the southern loop of the island.

 I already posted for Tuesday, my first vulcans!

Here is Jurgen (he is a son of Constantino ‘Patoen’ Saragoza , one of the owners of Bonaire Windsurf Place) showing off with a gekko.  He’s talented and cute.  This was yesterday, Wednesday.

Wednesday I sailed on a 5.7 sail.  At times a 5.0 would have worked but I didn’t change sails.  I had a great day, quite a few willy skippers and many vulcan attempts but none completed.  I also hurt my ankle slightly so I took a day off on Wednesday to let it rest.  It was a windy day, too.  Darn!
