Re: Nags Head Spring 2017

Yes, conditions have been outrageous. So far - eleven days of continuous windsurfing. Sail range 3.7m to 7.0m. Around day 8 I was so sore that I promised myself to take a day off, but the wind ramped up to 25-30 mph and I couldn't resist heading back out. The first week was in the upper 70's with a water temperature in the Sound of 80F+. Two days ago a cold front dropped the temp into the 60's, so we're now wearing wetsuits, but the water is still warm.

We got married after our 1st year of college, and despite predictions that it wouldn't last, are still happily married 50 years later.
