I sailed down from Crissy on my tabou 97l with my 5.6. When i left Crissy around 3pm it was all fogged in and i thought i was going to sail TI and sail down to Berkeley, derig and hire a ride back to Crissy. Either that or get back to the Aquatic Park and run back to get my truck (been there done that). However, it was a nice surprise to see Crissy clear up. There was more wind between Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf than on the other side, so that was how i got in and out. There was nice swell between Alcatraz all the way to the Bay Bridge. Quite a few times already i have noticed that in the ebb when North Tower is choking in the fog, that magical swell so many of us are addicted to, moves to either side of Alcatraz (depending on the wind direction). I often go the other way, from TI to Crissy (when it clears up in the ebb) and back to TI but this was the first time the other way around. |

Four windsurfers out at Natural Bridges today. I tried to get in to the park yesterday, but it was full and I gave up trying to get in. No trouble getting in today. Sails were from 4.7 to 7.0. The guy on the 7.0 was overpowered the whole time, but did manage a session that was well over two hours. Plus he stayed out while it was raining near the end when everyone else had returned to shore. Said he had a great time. No counting for any sense in some people. |

Windward what time did you go out?
The rain must have been localized. |

|

Could not find any parking at Coyote on Monday (the parking situation sucks anyway because of the construction), so I went a mile upwind to Embassy Suites. Rigged 5.3/110L and had a good hour and half session. 4.7 would have worked past the airport towards the Tigers corridor. Will go to TI maņana now that the bridge is open. Hope to use the brand new board just purchased at Boardsports..95L Fanatic Freewave trifin (13.75 lbs!) |

Hi ctuna,
I sailed from 2:20 p.m. to 4:40 p.m. The rain came in the 4:30 time frame. It fell in the parking lot as well per the other sailors packing up there gear. It was very localized. There was a line of clouds running north and south and it fell from that.

Four windsurfers out at Natural Bridges and it was a fun day! 4.7, 5.3, 5.3 & 5.8, I believe. Water and air temperatures warm and the water and air were clear and the wind was great for the sail sizes chosen. |
