Looks like ENE wind 6.9 + at Peninsula. I don't see any other wind as far as the eye can see. I'll see you out there, Rich. Bring your Volar and Falcon.

Schlogged the whole time on 6.9 with 108 FSW. Still had fun. Up-hauled a lot. Schlogged raced Rich, he was on 8.0 with Falcon 159 race. He never got on plane either. I did get to do a lot of schlog tacks. Got them down, were I did 7 in a row without falling in, both sides. Wind was 8 mph occasional gust to 14 mph. I can schlog up wind on the 108 and hold my ground. Got a good workout.

This Falcon begs for a 10.0 or a foil. 8.0 is pointless on it without a foil IMO

He would have fired up his 9.8 if he had it with him.

Great! Bringing the monster truck to the show and leaving it’s engine home. Not surprised. With all the good wind down there one can easily become overconfident.
