DS-Cres (2438km):  Really sorry that this is not speed track, but...
It is first part of marathon trip around biggest Croatian island Cres. After 16 years of windsurfing expiriance, and after buying GPS device (for location estimation in case of accident!) , (and after tourist season in which I have to work and dont have free time...), but before winter and cold weather comes, I decided it is last chance to start this marathon.
I know distances double and triply than this are made by some of us in a day, but cruising around island with only one car road is copletly something other. Also difficult because wind and complete situation on one side is different than wind on other...
Thats why I decided to go with extra big Mistral One Design, probably >15 yrs old. I needed something with dagger to be able to go into the wind, can take food for two days if have to sleep outside, and big enough to float on it and paddle if needed. First half of trip = 41 km I did in 4.40 hours, but soon wind droped down and for second part of again 41 km I needed 12 hours...
All together over 16 hours on board, and 30 minutes on Sv. Blaz beach, needed it to rope my things better to board, in front of me wos open sea, and short 1.5 m waves, hiting directly in nose, so it wos neccesary to go bit downwind...
All together - wonderfull expirience, happy to be without some emergency, I sow part of my island never seen before, and lot of things thath happend but can not write about thath. Also wish to thanks to my friends who pick me up on other part of island, coast capitan who cleverly find out that "crazy windsurfer without wind in middlle of nowhere" can be only me, and that he call me on phone and didnt make unneccesary "rescue mission" and drama.
Lot of things are prohibitted, to save lives, and trip like this I dont suggest to nobody. If somebody do it, than maximum safty precautions shoudll be mady, water, moby, gps, and people with boat who are able to pick you up also in storm. Also with all that it is a big risk.
But I just woudllnt survived if stayed at home :)
