Best day of the year for me at G'ville, maybe best day of the year at G'ville, period. Sailed 3.5 hours powered to o'powered, 5.7 to 5.7 way flattened, which makes it 2X the driving time. Yahoo! Rippin' good time, starting at 6:30 AM.
John Freed showed for the post-dawn patrol a little before 7:00. Mike and Bob appeared a little later (good on ya, workin' those beach starts, Bob!). Grants Sr./Jr. and DK arrived a little later and Josh made 8 sailors total. G'ville like it usedta rip, right from the get-go, pretty much non-stop with short lulls until it got even windier around 10:00 and it was white-knuckled rides for me. Killer day at our favorite pond.
Almost jibed into a momma duck with her 10 offspring, but saw them just in time. Much flapping ensued, but no feathers lost. Funny, because I videoed the family two weeks ago.
Still blowing hard when I left at 11:00.
