07/11 DCIB 8.5M/138L

Double feature, thank goodness! I missed the first feature, but was able to take in the second. Wind came up about 1:30, plateaued around 20 mph for half an hour, then fizzled. Looking pretty hopeless by the time I got to IB, so I rigged my biggest gear and prayed to the wind gods. Slogged for the first 20 minutes and was on the verge of giving up when the first planable puffs started coming through. The wind gradually strengthened and filled in, peaking in the low 20s, which was a handful for me with an 8.5. Another session that turned out way better than I expected!
