STARTED OUT BETTER THAN IT ENDED, AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, RAN AGROUND OFF ISLAND #1 BREAKING 4 PANELS IN THE 5.4. HAD TWO OTHER SESSIONS ON THE 6.0 AFTERWARDS BUT WIND DROPPED SIGFNIFICANTLY DURING THE LAST SESSION. TACK WAS TO ISLAND #1 AND BACK, GOOD WIND OUTSIDE BUT INCONSISTENT INSIDE. ONLY GOT A FEW POWERED RUNS ALONG THE SANDBAR BUT THE FEW RUNS TO THE KING RANCH SHORELINE MADE UP FOR THE INSIDE LULLS. MADE SEVERAL FAST TACKS AND JUMPS OUTSIDE. NICE SUNNY AIR, WARMER WATER AND COVERED A LOT OF DISTANCE...OOPS, FORGOT ABOUT HAVING NO 5.4 REPAIR UNTIL MARCH.
