It was extreme sailing at Coyote Pt. and at it's >best for 50% of
the time yesterday. Winds were from the W to NW. From >the beach
you can see rough water on the outside, near the bird cage. >Leo
had a hard time deciding what to rig, will it be a 4.2 or 4.75; for
>me it was simple, rig new 4.7 tight and sail OPed and if need be
put a >smaller board on later. Leo lagging huge, lauched without
him. Nobody >else around. What's up with that! > >Walked 5 yards
in mud then jumped on the board, never looked back. It >was extreme
low tide (minus tide infact) sand bar appeared 1/2 mile out, >hit
that hard, just enough time to unhook and hit the water/sand
>without being hooked in and getting slammed. Got up, walked far
enough to eliminate skeg-to-sand >contact then leaped onto the board
again. As usual wicked winds were >present at the runways,
vorticies from the airline wings integrate with >the gust and
produce almost uncontrollable conditions. Five seconds >later I'm
in full blown out 4.7 rigged tight conditions. Slack tide >produced
a relatively small swell, 2-3 feet, had to work fairly hard to >get
up wind, once there it was easy to stay there. Sailed for About 1/2
>hour by myself, sailing short reaches around the post and back out.
It was getting dark and the winds had come down enough to >consider
asking myself - have I had enough. Well, I knew Leo did because >I
think he shouted out something about having enough. He left and I
>followed not too far behind. It was over and I had a blast for
nearly >one hour. Near the shore the negative tide was much more
apparent. I had >no idea what I was in for or had forgotten what
3rd ave sailors complain >about when low tides come. It was real
difficult to walk in two feet >deep of mud with equipment in hand.
Try it! >
