06012012 -- Trip to Tsimari -- Speedsurfing

The weather forecast was promising but risky due to the heavy rains involved… In the morning we checked the Drepano sand bank, it was great with 5-6 bft SW wind but heavy rain also… We decided to go to Tsimari, where were hoping the wind would turn to NW in the afternoon (according to all weather forecasts, with almost no rain expected…) but it actually came from SW, rather gusty and most of the time rainy! First time I sailed in Tsimari all my runs on port tack! Unfortunately I realized were the fast run is after the wind had dropped…. Everybody enjoyed almost 4 hours of speedsurfing! We came out at sunset were collecting our staff in the dark! Then came the scary part: the water level rose enormously since the morning, we almost sunk in the “seawater-covered-road” but apparently vw’s are underwater vehicles!!! (dinos thanks for waiting for me and panagiotis thanks for the photos!) Check the ranking of the day of gp3s: bit.ly/rankingoftheday_060112
