032- Another big wind hype that may have happened elsewhere?  First session was 50/50 sorta underpowered with small gusts and big holes, the inside was not really working.  Did spend some time searching for the missing concrete, found it and reset a PVC marker.  Even this low water level allows sailing on all sides this hazard off the sandbar between SI#1 & #2.  Second session salvaged the day with first tack to KRS below the South Cabins then another round trip from the PINS shoreline.  Tacked back to SI#3 and BAF in the IWC upwind of the South Cabins.  The IWC Flats along SI#3 were smooth and the wind was steadier.  Kirk was out too so we spent the entire session going BAF.  Nice long solo return cruise until the holes returned approaching the launch.
