The SLC airport was 10 when I got up and 12 when I got there. Without any other meters that is the most positive thing I saw. Got there at 7:30 and had to wait 10 minutes to see the sunrise. 50 degrees, wow Fall is here. Still went with the 3/2 suit with the arms installed. Not a lot of wind but decided to forego the 8.5 and rig the 7.0 at light wind setting. Planing each trip across but far from lit for about 20 minutes, glad to be on the 135L planer. The wind continued to increase and I slowly kept tightening the outhaul until I switched to the 112L after 9:00. That gave me plenty of morning sprints across the lake while trying to avoid the one fishing boat. A little after 10:30 It started dropping and I bagged it. Nice enhanced-thermal morning for Grants.

Sailing both the Gorge and Utah on my 8'2" HiTech and my 3 Starboards; Sonic 85L, S-Type 115L, and Carve 135L. Small quiver is Northwave, larger sails are Ezzy and Sailworks. Often in my white Odyssey but also in my wife's motor home.
