Where We Sailed Today

Finally some more decent wind. Crissy delivers with a solid Starboard FSW 81 + Firelight 4.3 (that feels a bit like a spinnaker ... probably needed more down haul). The wind is already up when I arrive at 2:30 and it lasts until around 4:30 when it drops to larger sail conditions, a 5.0 would be enough. High cloud overcast clears out to a beautiful sunny afternoon. Tons of windsurfers out and a few kites, by mid afternoon some impressive wind foilers show up doing very well in the very choppy conditions.

Tomorrow probably a repeat

Crissy at its choppy best! 2pm to 3pm: strong and quite steady. 3pm to 4pm is very gusty: overpowered to slogging and frequent change in direction. 4pm to 5:15 is very filled in, steady, beautiful 4.3 conditions. After 5:15 it dies quickly.

At least 20 windsurfers out, two wind foils, and one kite. A couple more kites eventually join in including an idiot who practices jumps right inside Point Anita.

I concur with dvCali. Crissy has finally been firing for the last week and half after the worst spring on memory. Keep it coming!

Finally, light wind all day at Berkeley...maybe 5-15.
Actually get to foil in control. Wind like Oct. only from SE direction.
Could have WS with 7.4 and 111 Isonic.
But 6.0 was the call for foiling.
I used 5.3, so perfection was once again avoided.

Typical foil day for me..
Rig at 5:30, 3-14 at best.
6.0.
3rd reach, it starts to gust to 18.
4th reach reached 22, about right for 4.2 and my Naish setup.
Typical.

Nice warm 5.2 and Skate sailing at Larkspur.
Planing solid all the time once just upwind of the ferry channel. No crowds.
