It had just gone north when I got there at 6:30 so I almost turned around and went home. Glad I didn’t as it flipped back around to the south fairly fast. Hit the water at 7:30 on the 7.0. By 8:30 I had to rig the fast little S-type just to stay on the 7.0. By 9:30 I was on the 6.0 and the 85L Sonic. When it went to 5.0 and gusting to 30 conditions at 10:30 I didn’t have it in me to rig any more gear so I just held on to the 6.0 and let the Sonic scream across the lake. I finally quit a little after 11:00 totally pooped. The only breaks were to rerig and to lie in the water between the fishermen to try and cool down. It was the 1st session in a while that I never went down (Some sessions I feel like it is my destiny to provide lots of laughs for John and Dimitri). A spectacular sesh.
