Last day at La Franqui. Today had to be the day to make up for the shitty previous days. Wind strength was perfect, the water wat flat, but the wind angle was dead square. That meant bearing off without a brake. First run was fastest, but also most scary one. Acceleration was insane, but could hardly stop. Tried a few more runs, but with the cold and the bad angle I decided to stop. Like Michel said; you win some, you lose some. This trip we lost. Next trip we'll do more homework and will have a great trip again.
