Saturday:
Sailed way overpowered at 3rd Ave from 4:30 - 6:30 on a 5.1 Race.
There was some fairly good swell despite the flood tide. The wind
was the most consistent I have seen it all spring - not holey or gusty.
Sunday:
Stopped by 3rd Ave at 5PM and most people were coming in on 4.5s.
The wind had dropped off to about about 5.5 at 5PM. Apparently a 4.5
was more than enough at 4PM.
I headed north to Oyster Pt. When I got there most people were
coming in on 4.0s as the wind was dropping off. I rigged a 5.1 Race
and sailed mostly overpowered from 5:30 - 7:30. Tigers was the most
gusty and holey I have ever seen it - as bad or worse than Candlestick
usually is. Water was fairly flat despite the strong wind.
Monday:
SFO and Coyote windtalker were reporting light southwest winds in the
early afternoon. Whenever this happens I usually check Crissy and
Berkeley. Sure enough the windtalker at Crissy was reporting 11 - 30
avging 19 at 3PM. I got to Crissy at 4 and most people were out on
4.5s. It was filled in to shore. I rigged my 5.1 Race and sailed
way overpowered until about 6:30 when the wind dropped off quickly.
Crissy had close together washboard chop inside and flat water
outside. The strong wind made staying upwind fairly easy despite the
moderate flood.
