Hatteras - so far

So far, lots of wind. Sailed 5.2 and 84 liter Sat at Roadanthe. Sunday saled 4.5 and 84 liter at Roadanthe, and came back to Nags Head late in the day and sailed 5.2 and 98 liter. So far its beeen mostly NE winds, and lots of it. Forecast looks the same for the next 2 days. AS GENE WOULD SAY "I LOVE THIS PLACE!" Biggrin

Monday - sailed 5.2 and 98 liter. Solid winds al day long. Sailed at least 4 hours. Only problem is the jelly fish near my launch spot. Still - ILTP.

Tuesday - day 4 of my Hatteras blog. Rigged 6.4 first thing in the am, but it was not enough. Went to 7.4 around lunch time for a good hour and a half on my Hypersonic and again around 4. Wasn't solid planing at first, but became pretty solid both times. Starting raining on me, so I came in.

Wed was pretty weak, no planning but I sailed a couple of hours anyway. Today (thurs), was around 10 mph. PLaning in the gusts on my 7.4. Tommorrow looks like more of the same. Wishing now I brought my longboard.

Friday - forecast looked weak in OBX, and decided to head home a day early. (That's ok, I came a day early to catch the big winds last Sat.) Looooonnnnnnggggg drive home.....

Sat - Arrived at Tidwell before 8 am. Gene left this morining and was already in Greenville SC. Started out on the Serenity, and it was very nicely powered. By 10:30 the wind had built to the point, I switchd to my hypersonic planning the better part of the next hour on my 7.4. Quit
around noon, finishing up on the Serenity again. Nice day! Home sweet home.
