Where We Sailed Today

As ctuna and bipbip pointed out, time for a new Where We Sailed Today thread. The old one was getting so large that it actually went crazy. (Pages 426 and 427 of the old thread are bogus and probably the result of some kind of rounding error.)

Here's the link to the 2008 - mid-2013 thread:

The last session reports on the old thread are included here as an attachment.

Leave the old one up for awhile. Be fun to explore the novela.

Definitely. It is awesome, will never be deleted, and will be kept as a Sticky for a long time.

San Leandro for the first time this year. Very windy. Very crowded, I think at least 3 other sailors had been out throughout the day. 4.7 then 4.5 then could have done 4.0 but didn't. Tricky launching and returning when it's that windy.

Finally a decent Crissy week. 5.0 + 4.3 + 4.3 (a bit too little). Quick days 2:30 to 4:30 with the flood creeping. Tomorrow I bet 5.0 with the flood coming in at 5:0-5:30. Should be good

Saw a kiter swinging his kite on the beach back and forth, kind of out of control and touching the ground .. maybe he was sweeping. Good thing there were no beach goers in his path, a small line of tourists smartly tried to pass well around him or waited until the show was done ... must admit kiters are a never ending source of entertainment Shocked

Those wanting to try the ocean could look far and wide for a better entry point and find that this is just one of the best!

We have had a lot of sailors this year as the wind has been fabulous and it is attracting sailors like bees to nectar.

Come join the growing hive and have fun sailing turquoise water instead of brown.

Wadell 4.7 a little bumpy on low tide.
Smoothing out some as the tide came in .
It looked like its beach was doable today .

I went to Bullhead yesterday instead of Rod and Gun. I had to launch at the parking lot since there wasn't enough water at Grasso Point. It was a very steady 4.5 wind and the tide was up enough when I came back at 5:00 pm. It made me wish I had gone there the last three days instead of Rod. Too bad there won't be enough water there today until after 5:00 pm

Hit R&G on Thursday, late around 5. John was out on a 4.5, pretty powered, but the wind lulled some and we rigged 4.7's and 4.9's.
Nice sesh till 6:30, just 20% OP'd, maybe 30% underpowered, on a 80 liter wide board. Gusty/holey for sure, and a chess game for where the wind would be, but easy 4.7 and 80 liter board for me. Jumped till I got stomach cramps (abs), had to stand in the middle of the bay for 2 minutes to recover.
Yogi on his 9 meter kite, Boggy on 5.3, and one other guy going out at 7 on a 5.3.
