5/21 Grants 7.0/115L, 8.5/135L

Got up at 5:30 expecting to see a ton of wind. Nada. At some point in the morning I made that fatal mistake of not watching the wind meter. By the time I realized the wind was up I missed a major portion of it. Still, I get a wild hour of sailing on a beautiful afternoon. It was 21-25 at the water. I took out the 5.2, saw a die-off, got the gear out for the 6.0, changed my mind again, and rigged the 7.0. Dumb. My first trip back I got flattened by a dust devil. I had figured 74 degrees, go with the summer suit. 2ns dumb. Boy is that water cold. As soon as I got back up it went to 5.2 conditions and I was out of control. Had a half hour of wild rides, then a nice half hour perfect rides, then the noon die-off hit. In spite of the wind at GSL staying south it never really came back. Got a few more rides on the 7.0, and rigged the 8.5 for a few more but it was essentially done. Still, way better than Tuesday when I got 2 planers on an 8.5 at DC on what was supposed to be a windy day.

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.

Good for you.
If my phone didn't keep ringing I would have meet you there.
