Saturday July 1st Practice, Maybe Sunday and Tuesday Too!
So this week the Thursday evening practice session was a bust with no wind.
Who cares!
Saturday afternoon after the Lasers and Vanguard 15s had finished racing, Mike and I went out in the late afternoon. We were hoping there was still enough breeze for wire running... but thought it was dying. My, were we wrong! Thomas Pt. says 19-21.. we were raked all the way upwind, and just flying... this was a very good thing as we needed to go a long way upwind -- to Tolly Pt. twice -- to give us enough of a ride downwind. What a BLAST!!!!
Mike and I thought it was blowing harder than 19-21 knots, and friends of mine who were out sailing there cruising boat told me there seeing 25 knots, so more than Thomas Pt. light was showing.
Sunday's forecast is 10-15, Keith, Ali, Mike are all interested in sailing.
Keith and Yvette were out, but Ali went catamaran sailing.
