Friday looks good. Saturday evaporated and rain Sunday. Monday and Tuesday look epic. Another FU to the regular working stiff, though with the weekend blanking out. Sad

Rhett & I plan to sail Friday afternoon at Van Pugh. Looks like a great forecast.

Re: Fri, Sat and maybe Sund 3/10-12

Great day and a very nice turn out. Rhett, Gene, Haizar, Chris P and Robert all arrived before me. Barrett, Mike, JB, Chris V and Langdon took the second shift.

Wind was stronger than what Gilmer seemed to report or I'm out of shape. 6.0 on fins. 5.2-4.4 on foils.

Great pics, Chris.
Should have mentioned Haizar was getting his first serious flights on foil yesterday. Very happy for him

I actually caught the whole sequence via "motor drive". You got a tiny bit higher then landed unceremoniously. "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one". Good (These are a tad blurry).

I'd call that "sticking the landing."

Re: Fri, Sat and maybe Sund 3/10-12

I agree with Webguy. Haizer did well yesterday. There was some strong winds at times and the chop is always a challenge

Re: Fri, Sat and maybe Sund 3/10-12

Excellent video guys. Something Langdon told me even before I saw the video:
"Chris asked me to fly in close to shore for some photos.
Wind was kinda dirty there so I had her wound up tight and singing as I exited the windline before entering some of the jibes"

Lester Ross got a pic of someone kiting near Old Fed. (But didn't assuredly launch there, the park being closed and all... Lol )
