"2000" means a lot to a lot of people, but for me - I want 2000 more good sessions at Coyote and Third Ave. We're telling you no!, SFO. Keep the buildings low, Glenborough.

TODAY: 1/1/2000
Unbelievable! GREAT kickoff at Coyote! Greg Harris, Hunt Hyde and a few others showed up for a real killer bowl game. I wasn't even cold at all, and I think my dishwashing gloves helped a lot (they're thin so you don't get tired forearms like with neoprene gloves, but you still don't get windchill). The chop was nice, the wind was steady. The sun was 1/2 out and it was awe-inspiring.

For me, starting around 3:30, I found the Westerly wind 100% filled in from the beach all the way out - OVER powered but loving it on a 5.8 and mid-sized board. The rangers refused to close the park until 5PM, so we could sail 'til sunset.

If you went to Third Avenue and rigged up your windsurf stuff, you would have had to just cry. The tide was 0 feet. Meanwhile, at Coyote, the tide was also 0 feet, which was perfect! It made no difference, it was so nice. Hmm...

Also, regarding David Nelson's last message. Where he said he'll leave it to the "SFO activists", substitute these words "anyone who is interested and has a couple hours of time." Everyone can play a part - David brought the issue to us, maybe someone else will take it from there... At this point, there's too much to do, and not enough people looking into things. So if you're concerned about any of this kind of stuff this year, jump right in...

-George
