Sailing Report

In the end it was a good morning... Chris Lee (5.5/100L) headed out the earliest @ 6:30 and rode the wind up into the canyon easily, then Murry (7.0) and Betsy (5.5) headed out shortly after with myself getting out just a few minutes later on a 7.0. I caught the wind as it was puling up the canyon, and struggled to get to the point where the wind had backed off to. I finally got going and it was up & down the whole time, it began to back off around 7:45?, Chris bailed, then Murry, with Betsy & I on our way in. Then about 8:00 it kicked in, smoothed out and filled in across the bay till 9:00. Betsy & I ripped it up for just about an hour. Four kiters were out, good to see you guys.

Chris' report:
[B]etter [than yesterday] as it was clear at Lucky Peak even though it was kind of cloudy at my house. It has all the makings of a typical classic morning wind. Almost went in a few times but the wind keep filling back up. Finally saw a kiter alone on the shore so decided to call it the day and helped him launch the kite. I could have stayed out there longer.
