8/10 G'ville: Wake up, sail fast, rinse, go work, repeat...

Postby DimitriMilovich » Tue Aug 10, 2010 12:04 pm

Reverse of yesterday - 5.7 powered for first hour, then blisteringly powered for second hour.

Usual sad sack crew of people who are stuck in Utah right now instead of being where it's windy:
Josh I-hit-my-360-on-my-first attempt Shirley,
Mike watch-me-fast-task-in-the-chop-on-the-far-side-as-you-jibe-into-me Egan,
Emmanuel I'll-fight-my-way-through-all-the-zombies-driving-from-Layton-to-SLC-traffic Pons (and got there at 7:00!!),
Grant take-no-prisoners-Ironman-why-isn't-everyone-on-a-6.9-fastest-on-the-water McAllister and me - how-many-ways-can-I-crash-my-duck-jibe Milovich.

Left at 10:00. Looks like the usual 10:30-11:00 drop-off right on schedule. Get there early or snooze ya looze!

ALSO - a couple of our kite friends whose funny sails looked glorious against the early sun. Maybe they can take pictures of us and post them! HA -- good to see you guys out at the cow pond!

8, count-em, 8 days inna row.

I like to tack :))). Helps me when I blow every f-ing downwind 360. Making all of them on Saturday to none today, windsurf is great :^^. I may have left my downhaul cleat there on Saturday anybody pick it up? Tomorrow will be aerials wind permitting, so less tacking.

And I like to watch you tack - long before I jibe. AND, it'll help me be ready for Gorge sailing, where I understand there may be more than 4 people on the water at a time.

Nice slide show. I Googled up Autoviewer which you used. Did you just use the free version?

Adobe Lightroom

Not a free program, but I use it on a daily basis at work.
