After absent-mindedly missing the turnoff for Third off 280, I continued
north to Oyster. Fog filled the slot at about 3:00. Yippee! It's gonna rip!

Went fully flattened 4.9 MP on the 8'8" Enduro. Powered right off the
launch, slogged through the donut hole, and was immediately op'd at Tigers.
Did about 8 reaches and just had to go in to re-rig. Fully powered back to
the beach. Rigged 4.4, but Steve came in reporting that it had backed off a
bit. I went back out with the 4.9, and was fine until 6:00 when I got off
the water.

6" to 2' wind-driven chop, slightly less than dead on on port made it easier
to jump due to the currrents. Fully wound to op'd most of the time. Caught
a few airs.

It really looked windier than this, even right near the United hanger:

Spotted a couple of guys through the binocs powered in the channel from
Third or Coyote. How was it there anyway?

Hoping for more Saturday...
