Good bay day. I LOVE sailing at Oleander. It's just so much fun. Today the wind was marginal, especially at the beginning, but it improved slightly and I was almost powered up 75% of the time after the first 4 runs (which were more like walks).

I still suck at my jibes. I had a couple of high-ish jumps, but I don't think I received any style points. Probably 4-5 feet off the water. It feels comfortable, though. I think with more wind and less pointing, I'd be able to launch a few nice ones. It's what I've been aiming to do for a long time now, and it's time, if I don't get hurt again.
