G-ville rocks again: 5.7 flattened, 105l Sumo
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2007 12:24 pmDuane Karren and I got there a little after 7:00, as the sun crested the Oquirrhs. (Thanks for the late call last nite, DK, you da man!)
Wind was already promising so I rigged 5.7 expecting it to rise. By the time I hit the water at 8:00 I was still wondering, as always, if I'd rigged right. 10 in a row full-planing, float-the-rig-around jibes later, there were no more questions, except how much flatter I could get the sail. My 5.2 would have worked just fine for the next couple hours. It was still honkin' when we left and Jonathan pulled up to rig. Hope ya got some. Guess if enough folks go to the Gorge, it finally starts to blow again here!
