What? How many Tri-Foilers were there?

It would have been nice to have had someone to ferry my trailer to the other end of the race course.

It would have been nicer if the previous Tuesday I had not had a needle in my neck shooting corticosteroid goop into my cervical disc #C3-4 with Doc's strictest instructions not to go "bouncing around on that airplane boat of yours". I promised not to bounce too much. My wife wasn't in the room to hear it.

So, there I am at the Banana River this past Saturday morning. My Kestrel wind meter was showing 20-25mph out of the SSE. The problem with a foiler is that at some point you cannot hold it down; it will fly completely into the air, and every skipper's limit is determined by his experience with the boat, his weight, and the weight of his crew. With enough wind, any foiler is going to be too much to handle and they are expensive boats to screw up.

Sorry, I just couldn't chance bouncing too much this past weekend.

I am anxious to see what my rating will be at the Round The Island Race with the mods that I've made to the boat. I will enter but I don't have a clue as to what my PHRF is at this stage. I don't think it will be anything to be concerned about. I'm just looking for a good time after the goop in my neck is marinated fully. It wasn't this past weekend.
