Saturday Godsey invited me to Waddell. I was planing on that anyway, and
went. Crissy was raging as I crossed the bridge, and Godsey didn't answer
his cell phone. Onward. Waddell was packed to overflowing, toll booth
operational. Onward. Lucked into a good parking spot at Dport, rigged
5.3/8'8. Just as I finished rigging, clouds came over, wind dropped a bit
and 2/3 of the crowd came in with their 4.5s. I was well powered, even
came in for more downhaul. Rob soon came out, Schiebels were out, then
Jackson and finally Jonah at 6pm. The hot items there are now solid color
boards and low altitude back loops. Waves were small and not very well
formed, but we had our fun... Had a beer with TeamSC as Lady Di's golden
sunset dazzled our eyes.
Sunday took Chris to Bodega, suggested Tony and Anna do the same. It was
great. I actually got to sail WITH my wife! I'd sail behind her, then
pass and sail in front, trying to show her where/how to correct her
stance. Then we'd flop in and talk about it. Water 1-2 feet deep every
where, wind 18-20 and steady. Skates showing their wingtips all over
the place. We had a 6.2 and a 5.3 rigged. Chris used the big sail early,
the smaller one later. Dominskis made it and had a good time too, after
stopping at Boardsports for new weed fin for Anna's new Xantos. You Gotta
have weed fins for Blodega! Had excellent drinks and seafoods at The Tides.
