Accuweather and WeatherChannel both saying it would hit 20 so off I went. Got there to Peter coming in with 6.5 saying it had died back. Rigged 7.0 and was miserable for a half hour on both the 135 and 112, getting beat up by main windlines. Finally rigged 6.0 on 112 and had a blast. It helped that the wind turned from west to SW right after I started on 6.0; that erased the chop and brought steadier wind. Finally quit at 5:00 exhausted. Great afternoon. Besides Peter, one winger and one kiter showed up.
