Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Saturday November 22, 2003

99th session in 2003 Sailed at BIB Wind from the S (mph) lulls: 17 average: 23 gusts: 29 Rated a 8 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 5.4 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: SHORT Water Temperature: 72 F Air Temperature: 76 F
ABOUT 20-30 AS FORECAST AND OVERALL VERY NICE. ISLAND #1 WAS PRETTY FAR UPWIND AND DEFINITELY IN A GUST ZONE. THE CHOP WAS NOT THAT BIG AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME HOLES, MOST WERE NOT A BIG PROBLEM FOR LONG. EVEN ABLE TO TOUGH OUT THE LULLS ENOUGH TO GET GOOD SANDBAR RUNS AND A POWERED JIB IN THE GUST ZONE AT THE LAUNCH. JUST CROSSED THE IWC ONCE BUT SEVERAL SAILED IT FOR QUITE A WHILE. DID SEVERAL OUTSIDE, ONE INSIDE FAST TACK AND TWO DUCK JIBES. MOST OF THE LOCAL CREW AND THE DALLAS GROUP MADE IT AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE SO MANY SAILING UNTIL SUNSET. FRONT DUE TOMORROW AFTERNOON SO WHO KNOWS, MONDAY WILL BE COLDEST SO FAR IN 50'S BEFORE THE WIND DROPS.
