Coyote at 1pm Thursday 5.0/85 ltr. Went to the channel for more wind as the wind was dropping and clocking SW. As they say, there's no fool like an old fool, but..I did make it back in Embarassed

I noticed that the prediction for today's wind at TI is 19-2123 mph. What to rig?

Maybe just stopping by McDs to add a few lbs might help, no sail reqd.

Don't worry, it really doesn't matter what you rig for that 2123mph gust.

I think that forcast is a bit early though. The apocalypse is not until Dec 21st!!

Friday was incredible at Davenport for a dedicated delta 3rd ave sailor. 4.2 80Ltr way powered up on the outside and enough power inside. I wish I had better wave skills but the only way to get them is to get worked over a little. Very epic to b out in the ocean.

Counted 34 sails off Coyote today. Sail ranges 4.7 to 6.0 . The death of our sport is greatly exaggerated

Thank you, even if its not entirely true. Maybe the answer is that windsurfing is still very active in the better locations.
