Great Vid Larko.
Yep, I had a very light day there with Jimbob, started of planning in the dead smooth stuff.
Thought we were going to get a lift when we hit some small ruffles on the water, but dropped off the plan instead. Happened in reverse on the way back, couldn't get planning in the ruffles, but popped onto the plan as soon as we hit the smooth. I put that down to the difference between laminar and non laminar flow
