Dawn Patrol - 11/20/2024

Dawn patrolled Hickam today with Bill.

I got there kinda late for a dawn patrol - but there was no one out (so it didn't matter).


I setup what has become my standard


Bill was on his Portal and his Code 980S

When I finished motoring out to the second channel marker, I checked my battery and it was at 83% - not typical.  I think not having used the battery for a couple of weeks discharged it a bit.


I went through my normal acclimating process again (not having Foil Drive-d in a while, and only winging with F One foils, I had to get used to the Spitfire again).  Maybe the first 20 minutes I catch a wave and had to fumble with my balance (no wing to lean on). 


But that corrected itself and then I got carve after carve after carve....

17 waves in under an hour - at least 6 super long rides!


There was actually enough wind to wing... but I didn't want to keep La waiting too long - I took the day off to hang with her!
