Day 11: 2 lessons

Wow what an afternoon. Cold front arrived today bringing some seriously good on-shore wind and cold temps. I learnt two things today: 1) make sure you freeze your fingers while rigging (that way they will be ok once on the water), 2) Cold April water felt really nice today compared to air temp. Great solo time at Port Dalhousie Beach (winds from the North at 25-30 knots). Started on 4.5 with 86L but the wind was too on-shore make it hard to break the surf. Went to 5.0 and 102L and it was perfect. Riding side-shore, never having to go too far out. Lots of fun.
