A LITTLE ON THE LIGHT SIDE BUT ABLE TO PLANE MAJORITY OF THE TIME BUT ONLY FULLY POWERED IN THE BIGGEST GUSTS. THE WIND WAS FAIRLY STEADY, SOME OCCASIONAL HOLES BUT A NICE TACK IN MODERATE CHOP/SWELLS. THERE WERE SOME REALLY NICE SWELLS ON THE OUTSIDE, MADE ALL JIBES AND JUMPS AND FAIRLY FAST RUNS COMING BACK TO SHORE. THE WATER IS REALLY SHALLOW REQUIRING A WALK OUT TO THE END OF THE JETTIES BEFORE SAILING. OTHERWISE IT WAS GREAT TO DO THE BAY AGAIN AND GET A REASONABLY WORTHWHILE SESSION IN. DID SAIL ALONE ALTHOUGH 3 KITESURFERS (OLIVER, ALLISON & HUBBY) EVENTUALLY CAME OUT. BEFORE STARTING, REPLACED WORN OUTHAUL LINE BUT THE KNOT SLIPPED AFTER 5 RUNS. HAD TO RERIG THE OUTHAUL ON THE OUTSIDE (GLAD TO HAVE THE PFD). SAW SEVERAL PORPOISE ON THE OUTSIDE, QUITE A FEW CABBAGE HEADS AND A NEW WEATHER STATION. THE WEATHER STATION IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE TAMU BEACH AND BOAT RAMP BUT IS NOT IDENTIFIABLE AS TO THE OWNER. IT WOULD GIVE AN ACCURATE READING OF CONDITIONS FOR TAMU. | ||
