5.28 Memorial Day Wavy Gravy at Pelican Point
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 10:27 amPP looked good at 3 when I got there, it still looked good at 6 when I left. It’s what you call some solid push. Even so, the cloud shelf over head stayed put directly above us almost the dinner hour when the line finally shifted south towards Payson. That’s probably when it kicked in at Provo too. In the meantime the good wind camped at the north end. That was good for me because, for my 3rd day of the season, it would not have been a good idea for me to run with the carp.
Rob S sailed 6.5 and Hypersonic and said it was good to him. He told me to go 9.0 as we turned to see the Carp Runners headed for the horizon. Hey, I told him, I can sail regular sails too, and chose 7.2. My harness line webbing exploded on the first inbound reach requiring a pit stop to the grassy dry dock for harness line and boom disassembly.
After derigging and attaching a new starboard h-line that drooped to my knees like a teenage tough guy’s pants, it was back to the launch. The next three hours were absolutely solid, (despite the in bound harness position), get reacquainted with a 60 cm board, wavy gravy session. It never quit and probably got better after the cloud line let go and drifted south. Good to see Mike R and Louis getting it going on. Sorry it didn’t work out for Dimo. Where was John D? Jim S probably could have logged a half century. More if he could take it, and, if anyone could, he would be the one.
Of note, Mike cut his foot badly stepping off his board when he came into the harbor. Whatever it was cut right through his bootie too. Yipes. Tough guy though, he hung out spectate the whole afternoon afterwards.
