04/02 DCCB, 7m Sail, 138L board
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:03 amWelcome back Craig!
Actually, DC would have yielded up a pretty good session Tuesday - if I'd gotten there a little earlier. The sky was clear, the air temp was in the low 50s, and the wind was fairly strong (gusting to 25) and remarkably steady considering that it was out of the NW. Because it was a little chilly and the wind appeared to be building, I rigged small - 5.0. Mistake! Got a couple of planing rides on the way out, but, as it turned out, the wind had peaked and was rapidly fading. Re-rigged my 7m and got a couple more rides. Snooze you loose!!
