(6.0, 5.3, 4.7, 3.7) (85L Sonic, 75L Hi-Tech) Hit the water at 11:00 already overrigged (I later saw the wind meter was already at 21). Finally quit at 3:30 when the gusts kept ripping the 3.7 out of my hands while jibing (again later I saw the gusts were +40). It was a great way to start the season. The only negatives, Grantsville is such a jibefest and plenty of dust coming down the road. Its not quite full being about 30' from the rail. The water was cold but I got by with a wetsuit and no hood. Cold water, hot sailing.
