EXCELLENT DAY GIVEN FORECAST WAS ONLY 15-20. THE WIND STARTED EARLY AND LASTED ALL DAY, IT WAS SURPRISINGLY STEADY ALTHOUGH THE WATER WAS PRETTY CHOPPY. THE TACK MADE FOR LONG RUNS OUT TOWARD THE IWC BRIDGE, WHERE THERE WERE SOME FAIRLY SMOOTH, SPEEDY ZONES ON THE OUTSIDE IN WATER JUST ABOVE KNEE DEPTH. GENERAL WATER LEVEL WAS A BIT LOW BUT WITH AN 11" FIN NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. MADE SEVERAL DEPTH CHECKS WAY OUTSIDE BETWEEN THE LARGE SPOIL ISLAND AND THE IWC SINCE IT LOOKED VERY SHALLOW, THEN GOT COMFORTABLE RIPPING JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. HAD TO ADJUST TO WATCHING OUT FOR STAKES, SEVERAL TIMES WAS A LITTLE TOO CASUAL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS HEADING FULL BLAST TOWARD MARKERS.

MADE ALL JIBES, NONE OUTSTANDING BUT MISSED THE ONLY DUCK JIBE ATTEMPTED ON THE INSIDE. DID SOME CHOP HOPS BUT MISSED THE LANDING ON THE TWO HIGHEST. REALLY ENJOYED THE LONG, FAST RUNS, ESPECIALLY THE FLATTER ZONE OUTSIDE. FIRST TIME TO SAIL GRASSY FOR 6+ MONTHS, QUITE A CHANGE FROM BIB WITH ONLY 4-6 SAILORS ON THE WATER. BEST THING ABOUT THE DAY WAS BEING ABLE TO CONSTANTLY PLANE AND DEFINITELY THE STEADY WIND WHICH NEVER REALLY HAD ANY BIB LULLS.
