Sunday 8 23 20 morning call

Jeffrey Spencer posted this IG clip in which he makes the first documented wing foil back flip.

This instead is a crazy kitesurfing video by Kevin Langeree. Check the first 10 seconds and if you like what you see, skip to 2:45 for more similar action. Incredible stuff.


3am significant buoy readings and discussion.

Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim, but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
