Sulpher June 3rd 4th 5th
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 8:34 amWhat John F said about Sat. fits. A little dissapointing but we got rides. A few on the 6.2 and 106, then Fboard and 9.0
Sun, what Trip said, a good Sulpher day. For me a 106 and 6.2 worked for most of the day. A little bit of schlogging, and some really powered up fast rides too. Fun to see so many ws'rs out....and of course no kites.
Monday Linda and I had Sulpher to our selves. We weren't expecting much since weather radio didn't mention anything. But by 11 am we had a wind line starting up. Very on and off, but building. By 1 we both decided to rig 7.5's and as expected.....schlogg and plane. Then aout 3:30 the wind really kicked in and we had some real buckaroo type wind. It seemed to hit from a lot of different directions, I got flattened a couple of times, but also had some screaming fast rides, way op'd. The 6.2 would have worked nicely, but no time to re rig. Best, most steady wind was from about 3 to 5. 3 days of sailing......NOT BAD!
