Most fun I've had all Summer.  Great wind, great crowd of windsurfers - the speed crowd, the bump and jump crowd, the just having fun crowd and the up and coming crowd (BIlly Jones and his friend Nathan) were all out having a great day.  T-Bob's max speed was 35 mph on a brand new 6.2 NX Sailworks sail he rigged for the first time. Laurie tried her bargain board - a $150 lightly used Mistral and loved it. Ain't it great to snag a good deal on a board and really enjoy it?   Runs were to SI#1 or across the Intercoastal Waterway - I went across a lot for the fun bump and jump conditions the channel offered.  Dodging a few minor weedbergs but I was going to fast, the fin was shedding them pretty good.  Awesome day what can I say!    Max Speed:  29.4 mph            Distance windsurfed:  30.9 miles     2008-miles-to-date: 487.2
