Zeev,
Zeev, you should leave your internet address on the bottom, so I don't have
to flood the whole list with this message.....sorry folks
It was the sacto crowd....Unfortunately I had to be back by 7:30
for a school event.or I would have stayed with you. Maybe next time.
We started sailing about 1:30 with 5.0's, I used the ASD 8'8" Enduro
and it was perrrfect, it is always gusty up there and the idea of too
much swim time in those waters is unappealling.
At about 4:30 it felt like it was going to die, but on the way home
my COTW pager indicated that it held.
