Hi Robert,

Actually last night was a mess. We now in Illinois have to have home built boats inspected prior to licensing them, last night was the night, except the official that was to do the inspections wasn't notified so we sat in a parking lot in the sun at 100 degree temps for an hour and a half before I went paddling, wasn't in the mood to play with the wing, it stayed in the car. Forgot just how unstable the Cobra is, didn't dump it but got close a few times, good that I wasn't using the wing, couple of wild braces to keep the boat upright . Still was fun, but awfully hot. I'm leaving on Monday for a family thing and the weather is supposed to improve much while I'm away, so might be nice when I get home....hopefully. A bit tired of 100 degree temps, I'd make a lousy southern boy :)
