Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Definitely, especially running straight downwind, it can more than double your speed.

    Even with a crosswind it’s a lot of force.

      Awesome, that partly explains how you can kayak 33KM, which seems like a really long way to me!

        You can do it without the tides, it would just take longer. 4-4.5 kmh is typical pace in a loaded sea kayak. I’ve done bigger days, including a Strait crossing.
