It felt like it was going to blow all day... and it did!

We got in to the container on the lawns of the Walvis Bay Yacht Club early and quickly pulled VESTAS Sailrocket 2 out of her soft hangar. The wing was up in no time and Alex set to raking the whole beam and wing forward 6 degrees in anticipation for the loads that would need to be balanced if today we found the long sought after ventilated flow.

 What a big day. I don't think we have ever done 5 runs in a day let alone in such top end conditions.

 It has been forecast to blow today for some time. The winds have been very light recently so this has been eagerly anticipated. I just walked outside when I heard the first rustlings of the wind. The first 'fingers' of breeze were finding their way across the glassy lagoon being led by a pod of dolphins. That has to be a good sign if you're into that stuff (which I'm not really)... but there it is, a pretty sight in anyones books.

 Today developed stronger than we expected although we were ready to get out there. As the wind started to whistle we switched from data processing to 'gig's on' mode.

Obviously the results from the previous session has been on our minds as it showed that we have some big issues to resolve... but we also have a heap of data to point us in the right direction.

Take these two pics for example...
