The readings looked rather gloomy this morning, showing SW, but the
Lucky Peak RAWS was in double digits so I headed up anyway. I was able
to sail on my usual 5.5 and was planing about 90 percent of the time,
but it definitely was a light day. I almost headed in when it dropped a
bit after the first half-hour, but then it filled back in. Chris L.
(5.5) and Jim V. (7.0) were making it work. I did have one rather long
wait for a waterstart on the near side (after which I made sure to jibe
further out), and the water felt VERY cold, it seemed like it was colder
than it was on Monday (of course, on Monday I had all that high-wind
adrenalin-rush thing going). I did wear my summer gloves, tho, and my
hands never froze. The second time I went down in a lull, I uphauled to
avoid a chilly wait. I sailed from 7 to 8:15 and was glad I went. I did
get fooled by what appeared to be such an easy beach launch, stepped up
in shallow water and clonked my fin on a rock and fell in; it worked
fine once I waded out just a bit further.
Chris Lee adds:
I was on my 5.5 as I pretty much don't sail anything bigger than that
anymore.
...I really wanted to try out my Garmin. According to it, I was on the water for 23 min 52 seconds with a max speed of 24.3 mph.
You can replay my route here (with falling into water and all).Time Weather Vis Tem Dew RH Wind Baro dP*
