DC Sun 6/4

[JimSouthwick]

Snooze you loose! Steve make it up from Saratoga prior to noon, had 9M^2 ready when the wind kick in, and got some wild rides on his F-type. I made it down to SBB just as the wind was starting to back off and had long waits for short rides on my F155/8.5. Derigged, stopped at IB, where the wind was coming back a bit and John Dubock was getting some very powered up rides on his HS125/8.3M^2 set up. Carl arrived very late, rigged his beautiful new 12.5 (!) Windwing, and demonstrated how well it's possible to do in VERY light wind if you have really big gear and the guts to use it.

Did anyone sail J-Bay yesterday? Looking at the Jordanelle voyeurcam at 6 PM, it appeared that the wind had been out of the north, interesting since it was out of the southwest at DC.
