Surely must have been a good boy this year...Another 5.0 at LS

Early morning session with Adrian this morning at LaSalle. Winds from the WSW. From shore it did not look like much so we rigged 6.2 and 6.5. Mistake, big mistake. Then rigged 5.6 (me) and 5.2 (Adrian). Mistake number 2 for me. Ok sometime but overpowered most of the time. Finally went to 5.0 where it was much much better.

Water temp is down but air is still nice. Not sure if there will be anything for me under the tree Sunday morning. Then again, looks warm for the weekend (and Wednesday and Thursday).

Pre Christmas gift

5.0 full power for most of the session with Adrian this morning. Two hours sailing in mid December at 13 degrees was well well worth it.

The gale warning never realized. Too much rain I think. Returned for a mini session this afternoon with bob but the wind was down a bit.

Gotta remember to take the sails out of the trailer tonight before they freeze.

Some pics to follow.....

Solid 5.6 at LaSalle

Denny, Dirk, John and all others in quest of a good jibe: Okay, I have it dial down, finally. By it I mean the jibe. All it takes is a fully powered 5.6, a 102L board and really really cold water. That is it.

Body all warm, mind half numb and the will not to fall. It works. Made all my jibes today! Adrian was there for a while taking some pics - thanks for that. He came back later on his 6.5 -right on.

As I was leaving, John showed up in his wicked car. We talked about gear and trips. Good day.
