8/22 Grants 5.2m 85L

[John Freed]

Wild morning at Grants! Approaching the reservoir, I started to have doubts that I had brought my small sails, as the Grantsville city trees were blowing pretty good. When I arrived, Ken had the same problem, 5.2 was the smallest both of us brought. But 5.2 was a pretty good call. Wild and gusty wind made for jibe after jibe after jibe after jibe... I haven't jibed that much since... last fall! Mike rigged a 4.4? Greg foiled on a couple really small sails... (3 something?). And Greg received the most courageous sailor award, as he registered several fabulous fly swatter crashes. Wind quality decreased about 9:45-10:00. Tried to suck another couple of runs on the 112 L boards but not much luck. All in all a wild, wild morning!
