Just Mike, Josh and I showed up for some great wind. I was getting pounded by 9:00 on my 6.0 and Josh was barely hanging on to his 5.2. Only the little 86L race board was saving me. Mike was the smart one starting off on his 4.8. I got smart and rigged the 4.7 before I put my shoulder through another sail. The 10:30 reading was 30 gusting 33 so it was definitely blowing. The perfect wind direction really helped; not too east like it has been recently and not too west like it got late Saturday. Just perfect and reasonably warm too. Mike and Josh provided the entertainment with Vulcans, 360's and body drag attempts. Always fun to watch. Great day. It kept on honking all afternoon but I quit at noon still nursing wounds from the epic Saturday sesh.
