Trying 'Nick' on a reach

Gusts (up to 32 knots near the bridge) and sailing up then on a reach in 30 knots of wind was probably a good trial for Nick. It did OK in compass mode.

There was a kitesurfer that followed us across (it looks like they do mostly reaching), it sailed by close enough to touch as boom (which was a little outside the boat)
