Yippee, just as "Penguin Ken Onstott" declared a couple of days ago... Grantsville is "open for business". We started at 10:00ish on big sails (5.5m / 5.2m), ended at 2:00ish on little sails (4.2m). Big gusts sent us flying toward the dam... several lulls sent us limping toward the shore. However, a great day overall, nice to be lit up on the small boards... definitely not in windsurfing shape yet. Nice to have the pond chuck full! Water wasn't too bad (I tested it frequently, Ken sampled it only when he tried to squeak out a few runs on his tiny Hi Tech - timing is everything!), but the 60 "air degrees" certainly helped, we even had an hour or so of sun!
