Wait a minute, what time Sunday evening? I left Crissy Sunday, at about
5:00pm, as it was a gusty, bad day! This seem to be a common feeling
by most of the sailors I talked to. From about 3:30 to 4:15 it cranked
up with gusts to 40, but it was very gusty (15-40 with an average of
shit)! Then it dropped down to a point that I couldn't get powered on
my 8'6" and 5.0 sail. What gives?
