Saturday closes out the week as another great day on the water. Wind was SSE and mostly sunny. I rigged a 5.1 on my 88L board and headed for the House of Refuge. On the way out I was wishing I had rigged a 4.5, so I had plenty of speed. Art was already out there (I wonder if he rents a room at the House of Refuge?) and we buzzed around awhile. James showed up followed later by Brandon. After 2 hours I headed back after putting more downhaul on the sail. When I got back to the causeway most everyone had left. Dino, Brandon, James and a few others were still at it.
3/27 I was looking forward to an easy sail on friday since I missed all the wind this week due to a cold. Art and Dorian were at the causeway, wind was out of the SE. I rigged a 6.0 on a 94L board and was slightly underpowered. Within 15 minutes the wind came up huge but I proceeded out to the House of Refuge. I stopped and gave the sail a lot of downhaul and made some runs. I got hit by a huge gust and tailwalked for about 10 yards and decided to make my way back to the causeway. There was a lot of sailors rigging 4.5s and the railings on the bridge were humming!
