Tuba was .... challenging.
launched at 2pm with a 4.7 and the JP 250 (8'2") adn slogged for a bit,
then got powered, then downhauled more,
then got more powered, downhauled to the max, floppy to the boom, then
it picked up even MORE!
By the time I came in about 4pm, a 3.3 or so would have been the right
sail! Call dwind showed gusts over 50!
Waves where OK here and there. better at lower steam engines, even at
the launch and the 3 pines there were decent waves.
up in the channel was mongo windy, no water with the minus .5 tide.
everybody got a ral workout. TJ put his head through his sail.
it hurts soo good!
