(so much for hot weather == no wind !) Reply-To: alain@sgi.com-DeleteThis
With all this hot weather prediction, it sounded like there wasn't
gonna be any wind for a couple days...boy was I glad I had my small
gear yesterday at 3rd !
The bay was really cranking. I ended up sailing with a 4.2 (190#) from 4-7 at
3rd. Started with a 4.7 with a lot of downhaul but I figure I'll try the 4.2
since I rarely ever get to use it. Perfect size. The weather and water was
really warm - felt like maui, only dirtier :-) nice to be able to wear a
shorty after so many days at the coast. The inside at 3rd had really nice
ramps and swells (channel was kinda flat) - major air time. Some people
looping like there was no tomorrow !.
It didn't even feel like it was flooding - I kept carving down faces and
always seems to be upwind from the launch. weird ! maybe the COTW tide info
was wrong, but then again the level at the launch seems be be rising over
time.
One, if the not THE, best day of the year !
Who would have known....bottom line is: always bring all your gear, even in
those hot dead weather !
nothing to do but smile, smile...
