It's back! Looks like a good day for the Marina. Head up in front of The Narrows. SW-WSW wind in the 4.7 range. Rain in the early morning then clearing out. Who's with me?

I'll be out by 1. I've still got the 6.0 Maui Sails if I need that size

At Marina - down the pipe rippin’ - going out on 4.7.

It’s been blowing hard in Bloomington, wish II could be sailing, had to do right thing and let my ankle rest, was good to be out yesterday! Needed that!!

Marina: Day 3. Tacked my way up again to The Narrows and beyond with 4.7 and 95 L FSW. When I got just up wind of The Narrows, around the east point, up above the treeline were the Turkey Vultures riding the updraft. One of them went, Muhaha! I kept my reach perpendicular to them. Rich and Rick made it up and we all had a blast in the main pool. Wind shifted from SW to WSW. And went west by the end of the day. I got off the water around 4:00 pm.

The Marina.







Reefer madness! They were half mast and pretending to round Cape Horn.



Rich (6.0 sail) on a Kona One. Ever seen a Kona One do 30 mph!



Rich (6.0 sail)



Rick (4.0 sail)



Rick (4.0 sail) Got swell?



Rick (4.0 sail). Jibe!



Rich and Rick



Me (4.7 sail). You could blast a jibe at the west point of The Narrows. Speed!



Me (4.7 sail). Got further along on my Vulcan / Air-Jibes. I learn from every try. Not there yet.



Me (4.7 sail). The main pool with SW - WSW will set you up for a jump. You have to spot them. A lot of ramps have too much chop in front of them.



Got Kona?



The new Clinton Lake speed ditch was firing.




'till next time.
