I started before 9:00 a.m. at Coyote with my smallest sail... a 4.0. Everyone
else was on 3.3 to 3.5. The pager had it at 35 average with gusts to the mid
50s. I sailed two hours but was working way to hard. On almost every outside
waterstart attempt my board would get blown off the water because I was
depowering my rig. It was still a blast just to be out there.
I Packed it up by 11:00 and headed up to Crissy. By the time I got to Crissy,
Coyote was 38 average gusting to 60, so I was glad I had left. Crissy was
awesome in the early afternoon - very even 4.0 and 4.5 with great ramps early
and no sailboats to contend with. Just as the late comers started showing up,
it got really funky. This would be about the time that they had snow in the
City. The wind went from NW to due north and got brutally cold. The big
thunder clap was the final straw for most of those still out.
