Reports looked good. Wind looked good so I rigged 5.6 on my new 8'11"
RKT and hit the water at 3:35. Gusty. Was WAY upwind of channel
marker on first run so it seemed the board had enough volume for a flood
tide. Board was great when powered and sank in holes. Filled in nicely
closer to channel so I came in where I could stand to tighten sail
outhaul and adjust the footstraps. Trouble getting back out. By the
time I got to the channel, I was well downwind of the marker. Tried a
few vain attempts to get going in the channel where I could easily get
upwind if I could get powered...no luck. Slogged, swam, walked in to
old launch. Tide was still a bit low so I sailed a bit in the gusts but
just slowly worked my way in and went home.
More aquaaerobics than sailing....8-(
