If you thought DC was wildly
gusty the last 2 days, you'll really think it's gusty today. Look for the best DC conditions at 11 AM in the 6.5/12M
range, but quickly degenerating into strong gusts with huge lulls by about 3 PM
The SW wind picked up at 11 Pm last night and blew until about 5 AM, paused, and then started building again about 8 AM. By the time I got to DCCB at about 9:30 it was full on whitecaps. Got on the water about 10 and was fully powered most of the time. Sailed up to DCIB, arriving about 10:45; nobody out there, one kite up at DCBWB. Screaming ride back to DCCB, where Judy was rigging down from a 6.0 to a 5.0. I stayed with the 6.0, but probably shouldn't have, as I was OP much of the time. It was quite gusty from the start and got more so as the session progressed, just as Craig predicted.
