And here is the repaired mast (and the rest of the gear I setup).
The wind was blowing nice and strong - I pumped up the SW2 4.2. I figured with the smaller wing, I could just use the Eagle 1090. And it all tied together with the just repaired 85cm Project Cedrus Mast.
This picture was after I came it - and the wind did die down a notch compared to when I was out and riding. The waves were still really small - but that just forces you to try out other things - like doing high speed tacks onto waves just starting to stand up.
The predominant direction seemed to be NE trades.
Gusts touching 30!
I didn't feel compelled to head back up to Hau Bush (considering the events of yesterday, and I didn't have time today to pick up a knife), so I wasn't pushing the mast to the point of ventilation. But over all the mast did feel a tad bit more user friendly. Again - this is likely a figment of my imagination, but I never felt the onset of the mast ventilating - not even once.
Really fun session!
