============= Wed 19 Jul 00 - 3rd - 5.4/257 (195#) 4:30-6:30

Another fabulous day! I started late to catch the ebb. The wind
registered only 23 knots at SFO, yet it was all my flattened 5.4 could
handle.

And it was wonderful. The wind was whistling and my floppy leach was
thundering steadily until 6:00. The swell was only 3-4 feet, but lots
of great wide sets were coming through - I followed one for 6 jibes. I
was having a great time with all that power - I dropped only three jibes
the whole session. And mixed in was enough cross-chop for good ramps
going both ways. I got a few nice high jumps (although none of those
had good landings - I bailed on one and did a stinging butt-flop :-).

Around 6:00 the windline moved out to mid-channel; I came in around
6:30. On the beach, it sounded like lots of people had "personal best"
days.

This makes 4 great days at 3rd out of 6. About time!!
