UL SSB 13m

[Mark Johnson]

Saw the post about the early wind at lincoln, so after seeing whitecaps on the provo boat harbor cam so I headed out. Had to dodge thousands of bike riders from the sprinville exit to lincoln beach. By the time I got there it looked better at SSB so I drove over just in time for it to die. I figured if I waited it would come back up and it did. At 2;45 it turned on for an hour of pure 13m bliss with no one to share it with. Had a blast penetrating the butter hole, just dont get caught in there and have to walk out because it is like quicksand. I stopped near the end and sunk up to my hips in black stinky mud and the butter hole became more like a butthole. Just as It died and I came in, other started to show. After rigging to small Friday night and wasting a good sesh it was good to get a good ride!

Hey Mark,
How is the rigging in SSB?

I had to drift launch. Landing was a bit tricky also. I had to get as far east out to edge of the water and drop it behind the reeds in a hole. My lines ran right across a fire pit, luckily it had cooled off from the night before. it might be easyier to land in the water. With the glass nails bedsprings and fire pits it is definetly not a beginner launch or landing area.
