I showed up at Palo Alto at noon. I figured it would be mellower than
the rest of the peninsula. Mellow wasn't quite the word. When I got
there there was one guy out on a 5.0 getting worked. I rigged 4.2 on
my new (to me) Open Ocean 8'3" and sailed a few reaches, quite OPed as
the wind picked up. I rigged down to Darin's 3.7 and had a lot of
fun, but pretty much on the edge of control. By then lots of 3rd Ave
regulars had shown up and were out on 3.7s and the occasional 4.2. I
ripped a harness line and limped in right before the squall hit.
Palo Alto doesn't normally have much of a "channel," but I ventured
out there once on Saturday and it looked a lot like the channel at 3rd
on a good day, with big swells breaking against the shoal. Did anyone
brave the channel at 3rd?
