3rd was good.... most everyone on 4.5 to 4.0ish or smaller gear, blew all
day. Probably a dozen people out, ramps were a little disorganized. Erik
Simonson of Windtracks and Windsurfing magazine photo fame was there taking
photos for the magazines.
Also, Half Moon Bay on Saturday was nice; flat water, of course, but mostly
clear skies (a rarity for winter storm sailing) and solid 4.7/8'3'' wind for
me at 180lbs.

coat) from noon until we crawled home. I coulnd't turn the key in the

I think we had about 30 people out at Crissy over the course of Super
Sunday.
I got 5 hours on on the water time from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm with a half
hour
out for a run to the border. It was a little cold, but nothing like the
cold
northerlies from earlier in January. I sailed about 1/3 of the time with
mittens on. I (180lbs.) sailed 6.0/120 liter, 6.0/95 liter, and then 5.2/85
liter... steady winds and always powered up or overpowered until the last
1/2
hour. There were a couple of guys sailing One Designs with 7.5 sails when I
was running in for a smaller board. For the early part of the session the
sea
swell that you normally find all the way up at the north tower was pushing
in
all the way down to the yacht club. There was a 1/2 hour period when you
could
not safely launch or land at the Saint Francis even if you know waves.
Definitely an epic day.
I heard that Bodega was 3.5. Did anyone sail there? I wonder how many
winter
warriors made it out in total. If anyone sailed another site, I'd be
curious
to know how many people where out?
