8/22, Grants, 7.0/135L

[kenonstott]

23g29 when it stopped updating at 4:00 so threw in 6.0 at 6:30 and headed out. Some little hotrod hit a truck and spun them both into the eastbound lane just short of the Tooele turnoff. Traffic backed up through Stansbury but didn't affect westbound. Nice windlines when I got there but not 6.0. Now that I can see the windmeter readings I see why the 7.0 was perfect. My heart fell when I saw the low the water level and the new signs banning camping. Also the line of trash along the fence. See my post on the Main Message board for more on Grants update. On the water at 8:00 to building windlines. Needed the big board to get on a plane fast and get upwind in the short reach. Caught lots of great planning reaches. 8:30 to 9:15 was sweet 7.0 sailing then it began backing off. Enjoyed the morning but it is hard work when it gets this low. Need to work on my tacks. Shared the lake with 2 fishermen, one on each end of the lake.
