Saturday:
I got to Crissy at 3:30 after the whole day was (supposedly) over. I rigged
a 5.5 I purchased for $5 at a garage sale an hour before. Just when the wind
died after the snow shower I left the nay sayers behind and ZIPPED right off
the beach onto a plane! I sailed that new (old) wave slalom for an hour and
a half before leaving even more wind for people even later than me. Frosting
on the cake: the sail really worked well. Starting the day with nothing
between a 4.5 and a 6.3 and ending up impressed with a cheap 5.5 could
happen all the time as far as I'm concerned.
