Vann's roll call: Chris P., Rhett (foiling on a 4.2), Tim J. John, me. Dave D pumped up his kite but decided the wind off the beach would be better at VP and drove around. Wind would cycle (Dave hit an off period). In the strong periods, swell was fun to play on. Took coffee breaks in the lulls until the next cycle appeared upwind.
We had a pretty good turnout and good sailing at Van Pugh, including Barrett, Trey, Eddie B, Alan S, Zeke, Barry Z (windsurfed instead of kited) Langdon, David D (Kited), Jowell (came late and rigged big, but good to see him on the water again), and Brent (who is getting back into the sport,) and maybe more? Sail sizes were 6.0, 7.0 7.5 to giant (jowell.) I sailed my 6.0 and thought it was a really good day. It would blow hard, then drop back, then blow hard, drop back, etc. but it was NOT gusty. David W hung out and Danny Johnson and Jill (evacuees from Brunswick) dropped by, it was very good to see them again.
