Day 1: Elodie started the day scared.
Like, genuinely scared when we left the safe, calm harbor.
Wind. Waves. Cold. New boat
Race 1: we were fast - leading at times, trading tacks at the front.
But the real win?
She was smiling by the first downwind.
Race 2: breeze builds to 12-15. Big chop.
We start planing.
Boatspeed 11 knots. Full noise.
Then- 4 ft tear in the kite on the takedown π¬
We head in early.
On the sail in, both kids said it:
"That was SO fun!"
We fixed the kite together that evening.
A couple of young at work.
Hope it holds - more breeze expected on Day 2.
