8/7 G-ville, 5.7 sumo 105

Postby DimitriMilovich » Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:29 pm

Four out of five days (vet appt yesterday) of sub-6m sailing for me, although my 6.7 would have been a bit less work this morning instead of my bagged out 5.7. Jim, Grant, Duane and I were all there about 7:00. Jim and I got on around 7:30, Jim planing more than me. But it filled in a bit and I ended up with around 2 hours of mostly planing, although I was working it hard at times. Grant's 6.9 worked well. A full crew on the water by 9:00, although it was hard work unless you had a relatively big sail, or a anti-gravity field like Jim, who seemed to always be zooming into his kuwell laydowns.

Hard to beat a place (Utah!) where you can say no to 6.0 (almost!) for five days inna row. And that's not counting tomorrow (and Monday?)...

Not what I expected today, but hey I wasn't working. If it keeps blowing for the next few days I think this is some new record for planable days in Utah (post Rush Lake era.)
Whatever thou art, do well thy part.

Nice Rob. I like the way it picks up steam as it goes.
