I'm cross-posting this from rec.windsurfing. I sailed Coyote both Sun.
and Monday on my 4.9 and 8' 6" and didn't hear (or see) anything about
it. Don't forget your strobe!

This weekend I was anchored in the San Francisco Bay about 1nm
northeast of the San Mateo bridge (in 30kt winds) on a sailboat.
At about 2am on Monday, I was approched by a Coast Guard cutter
wanting to know if we'd see a lost windsurfer. They had at least
one search boat and one helicopter out looking. Being off the
lee shore in fairly shallow water, we were getting the sh*t
kicked out of us with waves breaking over the bow. I can't
imagine what it would be like to be out there floating around.
When the wind died down alittle, we pulled up the hook and left the
area with our eyes peeled, but didn't see any signs of him.
Has anyone heard anything about it?

Looks like the server might be down today. I didn't get the forecast.
If anyone gets this message multiple times or from other sources, I
apologize.
Looks like the REAL season has finally arrived! Hot inland valley and
nice thick marine layer on the hills. At last!
