Definately something screwy with the 3rd channel sensor today. My buddies
sailed 5.4 and 6.3 in the channel and had a good time... I kited a 10.0
wipika and stayed clear of the channel due to the increasing wind speed the
closer I got to the channel. Looked like I would have been fine on my 5.9
sail had I chosen to sail. 5.9 is my everyday sail at 3rd (17-22mph). I read
the pager and chose to kite thinkin it was lite to dead in the channel but
that was not the case.
