I sailed Coyote Yesterday from 2:30-4:40 on 5.6/CFlex. Solid 5.1 in
channel with big swell, but lonely so no jumps attempted. 5.6 near
flight path. By 4PM it was dropping off inside and was only 5.6
outside. Slogged to the beach, took a rest and went back out on my
8'11" and sailed this from 5-6PM and it was getting pretty light by
6PM as well as choppy. The wind was still sailable outside, but I was
tired after 3 hrs of good sailing. Kris and KenF sailed 8'8" epoxy
and 5.0 from 5-6PM and were doing well. Maureen was on 8'2"/4.5 from
2:30-4:40PM.

This seems to agree very well with the data. It was more Northerly
than usual, too...
