No joy...Too much wind!

Kind of funny... canning a speed sailing run because there is too much wind! Something unfamiliar to wind and kite surfers. The wind forecast was growing today every time we checked it on the internet. We got onto the course as soon as we could but it was already gusting over 20 and soon it was hitting 24 knots. I was psyched up for a big run today... but... the dreaded but... I had to quell the momentum. We have made significant changes to the setup of VESTAS SAILROCKET and they should be checked progressively. Assumptions can really bring you undone in this game.
So, sigh, we brought the whole show back and packed it away. Tomorrow it's set to 'honk' again. We will get setup nonetheless and remain poised to pounce at any opportunity as we will the next day... and the next.
Our time will come. I'm not about to let a little impatience bring us unstuck at this stage.
Cheers, Paul.
