PRETTY MUCH A CARBON COPY OF PREVIOUS DAY, STARTED BLOWING FAIRLY EARLY AND LASTED UNTIL LATE. SAILED MOSTLY BETWEEN LAUNCH AND ISLAND #1, WIND WAS STRONGER ON THE OUTSIDE BUT A BIT HOLEY ALONG THE SANDBAR. ABLE TO RUN ALONG THE SANDBAR BOTH WAYS, MORE POWERED GOING SOUTH BUT ONLY POWERED IN THE GUSTS ALONG THE SANDBAR HEADING BACK. HAD SOME PLANING REGULAR, STEP AND A COUPLE OF DUCK JIBES AND MISSED A COUPLE OF FAST TACKS INSIDE BUT MADE ALL FAST TACKS OUTSIDE. HAD A FEW NICE JUMPS AROUND ISLAND #1. DID MAKE IT OUT TO THE IWC AROUND ISLAND #3 A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE CHOP WAS NOT THAT WELL ORGANIZED, MORE LIKE A MOGUL FIELD, BUT THE WIND WAS STEADY. SPOTTED A STAKE IN THE SHALLOW WATER BETWEEN ISLAND #3 AND THE HIGH CHANNEL MARKER, THE WATER IS VERY LOW ALONG THE EDGE OF THE IWC IN SPOTS AND AROUND ALL THE SPOIL ISLANDS. EVAN, HANS, THOMAS, ROBERT, TOM AND PAT WERE OUT ON SAILES RANGING FROM 5.0-6.6, ALL HAVING A GOOD DAY. DAVE KRIER SAILED 7.0/125L AND DID GREAT AND GOT TO SAIL WITH CHARLIE/TERESA AND HAL/NANCY WHO WERE USING 5.3-6.0 SAILS. HAD THE SAIL A BIT FLATTER TODAY BUT STILL FELT A LITTLE OUT OF BALANCE, THINKING OF SWITCHING TO SOME SHORTER, FIXED HARNESS LINES. IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT AFTERNOON WITH THE SAME FORECAST FOR TOMORROW.
