     Landed in SFO at 1:30. Could see that the wind was building up. Hit
     the water at 2:30. 5.3/8'8" Very northerly. Heading down towards the
     bridge. It was less windy east of the channel marker. Just barely
     powered. I forced my way upwind as much as I could. I ended up sailing
     in a full east/west pattern between the channel marker and Coyote.
     Perfectly powered all afternoon and the wind was very very consistent.
     A few rollers but overall pretty flat water. The channel was blah. I
     sailed about 3 miles upwind without much trouble. I was working on my
     laydowns and getting a tan. I lost the board during a jibe where I was
     not paying attention and saw it heading straight downwind for about 50
     yards. The big swim. There was not another board in sight. Thanked my
     skinny mast for sinking so easily... Left the water at 4:45. Time to
     get back to work. It seemed still powered and steady then. Not a bad
     way to kill some time between two planes...
