    Absolutely love this. The muddy track, the rain the standing around in a car park. Makes the glorious moments all the more of a victory but so good seeing the reality we all know too!

    Ah the art of missioning. You win some, you lose some. All fond memories down the line though 😂

    You needed some Tactical Flip-Flops for those beds, but these are the days you laugh about, no one remembers blue skies, clean wind and cold beer.

    Highly entertaining. Loved the layered music tracks. Do you happen to remember what the slow dark ambient background track is abuot 3/4 of the way through?

    Scary experience but nice! What aero glide size did you use? Thanks for the video

    • @tomcourtkite
      @tomcourtkite  Рік тому +1

      I was using the 1085 aero glide if I remember correctly!!! Great down wind option. I weigh about 90kg tho 🤟

    Ahoy Tom, what’s the chart solution app You are using for track overview?

    • @tomcourtkite
      @tomcourtkite  Рік тому

      In this video it was just google maps man, but usually I use navionics for ocean charts 🤟 or you can use strava to track! 🤟👌

    Important video, yesterday we went for a 50 km downwinder in chilly conditions, and was poorly prepared and just had to push through.. Never underestimate the ocean I guess..
