MORE LIKE 15-20 RATHER THAN THE 10-15 FORECAST. DIDN'T EXPECT TO SAIL BASED ON THE FORECAST SO ARRIVED A LITTLE LATE. IT WAS BLOWING 20+ BUT DROPPED TO 15-20+ BY THE TIME I STARTED SAILING. PEAK WIND AT WORLDWINDS WENT FROM 24 TO 28 WHILE SAILING.
TACK STARTED STRAIGHT OUT AND BACK GRADUALLY SHIFTING MORE TOWARD THE NORTH CABINS, PLENTY OF WHITECAPS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BUT FAIRLY CONSISTENT WIND. SAILED WITH DON, EVAN AND BILL JONES FOR AWHILE THEN MADE SOME SOLO RUNS ACROSS IWC TO ABOUT 2/3 OF THE WAY TO THE KING RANCH. AFTER TWO TACKS BACK WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE NORTH CABINS. STAYED ACROSS THE IWC BAFING IN THE FLATS DOWNWIND OF THE NORTH CABINS AND THE SWELLS TOWARD THE KING RANCH SHORE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A BETTER SWELL ZONE BETWEEN THE NORTH CABINS AND KING RANCH ON A NORTH WIND. HAD A GREAT RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE SHORELINE, COULD HAVE RETURNED UPWIND OF THE NORTH CABINS BUT ENDED UP GOING DOWNWIND AND IT WAS A GREAT RUN BACK TO LAUNCH.
STARTED A SECOND SESSION BUT ONLY HAD ONE GOOD RUN OUT, SLOGGED BACK, WAITED 5-10 MINUTES BUT IT JUST DROPPED TOO MUCH.
