Wavered a bit where to go today. Thought about Bucklands Beach, next Mission Bay, but finally went to Pt Chev as the windmeter gave some good readings there. And indeed, went out on a 6.2, but very quickly back in to rig down to a 5.2.

Was a bit too gusty, so times where I was just drifting, but when the wind hit the 5.2 was perfect. Got a couple of nice chop hops. Didn't make any of my jibes, one almost, but with these waves, it's just too hard for me.
