| The wind graph for Leo Carrillo looks really gusty. I sailed at Topanga from 5 pm - 6 pm and was very nicely powered with a 4.7. |

| Hey Capetonian, missed you at Topanga today. It was even better than yesterday; I was on a 4.4 although I guess the 4.8 from yesterday would have worked also. Only other sailor was some guy from the Palisades on a 4.2. |

| Glad to hear you had another good day. I am still enjoying the memory of how good Tuesday was. Generally speaking, the stars have to align for me to sail during the week thanks to work and family, so 2 days in a row would have been pushing my luck. |

| Yesterday at Leo the wind was more consistant than on Tuesday. I rigged a 5.5 and was mostly powered up. Big rollers out in the channel that would block the wind when I'd get betweeen them. Just a few people out. |
