Everything Is Faster in Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas. I guess that also applies to speed.
Two new personal bests today, including a top speed of 33.88 knots (62.7 km/h). On KA Koncept 5.0/Isonic Speed 54 (thanks, Andy McK!)/BP WS28. Nina probably would have beaten my speeds, but had some muscle pain from her first day of sailing her - way overpowered (it's the triceps that hurts!). So we took the opportunity to verify that you can walk back the entire way. Yes, you can! Even though the water seems to be a foot deeper than last year.

Did I mention air temperatures were in the 70s, water almost that warm, and it was sunny? I like Texas.
