The wind was very east today, you could sail back to the top of the runway on one tack. Very inconsistent wind under the runway, loads of holes. to get a decent bearaway, you had to leave the smooth waters and head out into the bay. I had my first runs inside the bouys, nice and cloae to the runway. It's a huge wind shadow in there. Never fully powered up on a speed run, didn't feel like 20 knots out there. Great to see loads of Roaches out today Cool

about 18-20knts when I was out.

Headed out early, had my two youngest with me for a morning at the beach, the breeze came in early so I managed to get a couple of K's up and my first session on my Hellcat.  Short runs for me today as I didn't want to leave the kids out of sight and it was pretty patchy in close.  But It was a real bonus for me to get anything so crap times and yet happay as. Out of the water by 1.15

Fun day on the water. Out earlish expecting it to pick up, but it didnt by much. Pretty choppy with lots of sailors and a whole fleet of Lasers and bog boats. They put the pin end in the middle of the sailing area and leeward mark at the end of the run. Words exchanged but no solution.

Just blasting with Sean (quik sail & frozen GPS) and Chris. Only one decent crash today, unusual. Still managing to up the 7.8 peak.

Great day on the lake.  First good seabreeze for quite a while.

a weird ENE wind instead of the predicted NE. I once again rigged too small and paid the price by doing a lot of slogging. Anyway, good to get out for a sail nonetheless.

I thought that was you calling out today Tim,  you sounded a bit muffled shouting through that leather mask.Sealed

I had a little fun drag race with Troy - but I had to gybe early. I think I had 2M more sail and I couldn't get away from himEmbarassed

wish I could post but doesn't look like my card registered my tracks :(

I'll take my card to work tomorrow and see if maybe it's just my card reader on my home puter. Certainly won't be any pb's on it but I just hate wasting good times on the water.
