Looks like a good day for the Marina, S - SSW wind in the 5.8 to 4.7 range all the way to sunset. I think I can still wear my Lycra - if not, a 3.2 suit. This could be a good warm up because something big is brewing for next week - topic on that later. Who's in for Saturday?

I'll be there. CLSA is having a poker run at 10am and I think I'm going to Windsurf to the card pickup locations.

I think you've got a shot at winning. We might have to help rescue folks.

Have fun, I’m hopeful to get some sailing in today. Kind of overcast this morning.

Fun day at the Marina. That's twice now that windsurfers win the day at the Marina. If it's onshore or offshore we can get to the wind. Sailed 5.8 with 108. The wind never went SSW. That would have made it nicer. I tried some learning loops exercises. Haven't tried those in some time. It's not like getting slammed because you over sheet and depower the sail. Still able to wear my Lycra. Water temp 75 F. I got to see the twins. Future windsurfers that will have their own styles. Great to see everybody.
