DC was rip roaring! Pulled up around 3pm to find an abundance of white caps, wingers and kiters. At first when I got out I was pretty over powered with the 5M, but it's the smallest wing I have so white knuckling was my fate. After about an hour the wind mellowed a bit and 5M felt pretty good. Left the water at about 5 because I thought the wind was calling it quits, but it held pretty good for the next hour while I was there.
The water isn't too cold, but we will see how long that last. At this point I am hoping for snow for a few reasons, but wouldn't mind an extra session or two before it gets too cold.
