Sunday Jan 14, West Wind

Please post if you can join me tomorrow at Van Pugh. It looks like a nice, sunny, windy day, not as cold, with low traffic.

Re: Sunday Jan 14, West Wind

Almost nil traffic, 48-50 and it actually blew pretty hard. I could have foiled on my 4.7 but I elected to take my 7.0 and the 725 wing. Felt like 12-20 with a few higher gusts. I thought my new watch was tracking my speed but all it told me was that I burned about 750 calories. I'll need to install something like Strava to get at least a track. A shame since I had a few bear offs above Aqualand at speed.

The usual suspects abandoned me - I was by my lonesome and a few sailboats.

Edit: Just looked at the Gilmer report. Feel better about myself and explains why the sail wanted to turn itself inside out on a few gusts.
