4/11/09 Chicks

Epic 5.0 N, Acid, HUGE AIR, and so many, as good or better of a session than at West Dennis last year on that S. Me, Rob, Karl, Jack. Maybe even a 6.0 session tomorrow, we will see, after all, its Easter.


4/10/09 Avon Ramp 34

First Hatteras trip for Rob and I together in 2009. Great time. S/SSW 25 gusty. Sailed on Acid and 5.3. Up and down, knee to waist high waves if at all. Rob, Bill Bell, couple of other sailors. Drove the truck out on the beach, no prob. Got a flat on the beach and changed it using a flip flop and a fin for a base for the jack. Wind died and sailed the 101 and 6.2 for an hour or so, just a great combination. Drove into town and met the girls for dinner at Wine House. We were looking forward to the N wind at Chicks the next day.

4/4/09 Factory Point

6.2 Icon first session/101. 17-22ish wind, gusty and flat. Pete Toth only person on water when I got there, Bruce was packing up. I did not sail out to the channel or the other side of the island. Water temp was decent, wore booties and 3/2 but probably did not need the boots. Icon is not as powerful as Crossover but still pumps nicely and handles better, feels a little lighter. It will be a better sail in the bay and on the ocean. Ran into Rob, Sybil, Carl and Dana at Tortilla West.

4/3/09 Jockey's Ridge

4.5/5.5 S/SW/W gusty. Rob, Carl, Billy, Bob, Contos, Wayne, Tom B., Pete Toth, Steve Lowe. Good group of sailors sailing very gust inconsistent wind, good when it was good though, first 1/2 hour was great with some BIG air on the outside on the 4.4/RW. Smashed my left shin on a bail, and got published.
