The E-SE wind was ripping today at Gault's. Maybe the strongest day there that I can remember. Sailed 5.0, though 4.5 would have worked well, I think. Small crowd, suprised more did not make it. Eddie returned a second day, also Alan S., new Alan (sp?), and Dan. I assume some sailed Vann's - report?

Dang, where did that wind come from? We certainly did not get that here in Augusta. A 4.5 at Galts? I don't think that Altoona sailors have ever seen a sail that small
!
Van Pugh report... I launched from Van Pugh on Sunday and was very suprised that there was pretty much a clear launch with minimal shadow for the wind diriction... although if you wanted to make it past aqualand, you had to go downwind quite a bit to clear the point. I was sailing a 5.5 which was excellent for most of the afternoon from 12-3. Before I left, the wind seemed to taper off as the sun peeked through the clouds. The only other windsurfer out when I was there was Joe- sailing a 7.0 and shortboard, perfect for the strong gusts. I don't think we'll see another Sunday like this past one for a while... hardly any boaters or picnicers.

Sunday was great at Galts
It is the first time in 16 months that I rig my 5.8m (inGA)
This spot is good with east wind
I will come back!
It seems that next weekend will bring enough (west) wind to go to Van Pugh
