Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Saturday May 31, 2003

42nd session in 2003 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 17 average: 20 gusts: 24 Rated a 8 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: NONE Water Temperature: 85 F Air Temperature: 85 F
NOT MUCH WRONG WITH TODAY, THE 15-20 FORECAST WAS JUST A BIT UNDER. SAILED WITH ROBERT, BOB, HANS, PAT/TOM, CAROL/BARNEY WHO RANGED FROM 5.2-7.8. FIRST SESSION WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT ALONG THE SANDBAR IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, JUST A BIT HOLEY. HAD SEVERAL GREAT SPEED AT TIMES BETWEEN WORLDWINDS AND THE NORTH END. MISSED A COUPLE OF STRONG SIDE JIBES AND MADE A DUCK JIBE IN EACH DIRECTION AND A FEW JUMPS BETWEEN ISLAND #1 AND #2. SECOND SESSION WAS NICE GOING TO ISLAND #2 AND BEYOND A COUPLE OF TIMES. SEEMED FASTER GOING SOUTH AGAIN TODAY, THE RETURN WAS PLANING BUT NOT POWERED IN WHAT SEEMED TO BE SIMILAR WIND. TRYING TO PINCH UPWIND TOO MUCH? THE OUTSIDE TO AND FROM ISLAND #1 WAS MORE CONSISTENT THAN ALONG THE SANDBAR.
