| Okay, so I went anyway. Upon arrival at Coyote at 3:00, one person was
| ~1.5 miles out and planing fine, allegedly on a 6.0. Fog behind the
| airport, small wind line just beyond the swim area, whitecaps for 6.0,
| everything looks like it will build. 3:00 report from SFO is 330@18
| knots; I debate a 5.7 but rig a 6.2.
|
| 3:30: I'm ready to go - and the wind has dropped off. In fact, there
| were four people out on the water on ~6.0 sails and none were planing.
| In fact, there were several people out all the time 5:00 and NO ONE
| PLANED. We had wind dummy sacrifices, one guy re-rigged and went out on a
| 7.5 (and did not plane), I walked up to ASD for a while and nothing
| worked. I finally derigged, peeled off my sweatsuit and left at 5:00.
|
| What happened?
|
well, I waited around and at about 5:30 it picked up somewhat so that
from 6-7:30 people in the channel (myself included) were nicely powered
up on 6.0+. Not exactly worth waiting for but not too bad if you arrived
late.
