![]() At last another day reasonably warm (upper 60's F) with promise of some planable wind. It was indeed a great day o' sailin' (as they all are). I lasted only about an hour until my feet and hands started getting cold from the icy water, despite high-top booties and gloves. (But the hood kept my ears dry!) The video below shows the best parts of the session. Earlier this year a shady vote replaced windsurfing with kiteboarding for future Olympic sailing competitions. A popular revolt by the windsurfing community has led to a reversal of this decision! "People power kicked the decision to drop windsurfers from the Olympic sailing line-up into the oblivion of history as rank and file national representatives voted against the council members of the International Sailing Federation at its annual general meeting in Dublin."
