Coyote was equally good. I was way OP'd on my 4.6 and the chop was pretty
unreal. 4.0 probably would have sufficed, but didn't feel like rigging down.
Session was cut short when Ed's Law kicked in and I broke the buckle on my
harness. (That makes mast and harness so far this season. What's next???)
Thank goodness I was just outside the swimming area. Where was everyone?
The parking lot was almost empty.

How embarrassing! That's never happened to me at 3rd :).
