Craig nails it again!! (Go to DC around 3 PM and get your 7.5 rides). Thanks Craig!

Got on the water about 3:30 to some baby whitecaps. Lots of rides across the narrow reach. Great day, warm, sunny, beautiful! Had the thrill of breaking a brand new uphaul line (better stick to the old stuff) while trying to uphaul during a lull. Ah, but this is Deer Creek, just wait a few minutes to get enough wind to waterstart.

Feeling bad having it all to myself until Josh arrive with his baby Techno and 8.0. Looking like a Techno kind of day! Josh got his rides and we both left with smiles around 6:00.

i took a leap of faith seeing that the winds on Sundance were beginning to pick up and the gradient looked okay. If felt like a light sailboat ride; relaxing, warm and just slowly reaching back and forth. I did deposit some karma into my account. There was a stranded boater that stated that they had been drifting for about 6 hours. I got a small sailboat to help them jump their motor. So I think some wind credit may come in handy. I drove past sailboat beach to see more wind with 2 sails mostly powered up and riding the flat water. Colors are great and minimal boat contact. Rob
