Two flat tires mm19 , put a damper on the 5.0 sesh. After getting to new tires the next day ouch. I got a good 14m sesh in at lindon. No one trashed the van over night and half the next day.I felt lucky.

8/12 Lindon 8.0 122L

A involuntary downwinder for me. It was light and gustier than normal, not DC gusty, but up and down. Plenty of fun bumpy plane time as long as I was headed slightly off the wind. So I left myself with the longest wade back up the beach I have ever experienced. (300 yards or so). Then a low water level mud hole exit to deal with. :?? Still I got some wind so... :)))
Good exercise and well worth it in the end. Jim H was staying nicely up wind on his 14M Cabrina. It just wasn’t working for me this time out. Every time I tried to gain some ground upwind It was slog city.

Anyone ever tried a Lindon to that Jetty/spit of land on the west side (pelican point?) then back to Provo boat Harbor? :||

Jim: I was gearing up with all my automatic weapons to go after that big target.
That really bits. Do you know what or where you hit?

I did not take the time to walk that road .Drove out another road out of complete fear and panic ,arms raised in joy hitting the pavement.

I like this clip from the session. The lighting and Shadow was nice. Too bad the water looks so nasty. :??
