FORECASTS WERE AS LOW AS 10-15, MOST WERE UPGRADED TO 15-25 AFTER A FAIRLY WINDY START. NICE AND WARM, MOST IN SHORTIES, ONE WITHOUT AND ABOUT A DOZEN SAILING ON 4.5-7.7.

AT FIRST IT WAS SOLID 20+ WITH PRETTY BIG GUSTS WHICH REQUIRED SOME ADDITIONAL DOWN AND OUT HAUL TO GET BALANCED. TACK WAS PRIMARILY OUT JUST DOWNWIND OF ISLAND #1, DID MAKE A FEW RUNS ACROSS IWC, THEN BACK TO THE LAUNCH. VERY SOLIDLY POWERED OUTSIDE WITH A FEW GUSTS WELL OVER AND QUITE A FEW HOLES INSIDE, ESPECIALLY LATER.

ABLE TO RUN IN TO THE SANDBAR AND GET WELL POWERED JIBES INSIDE. MUFFED A COUPLE OF JIBES AND MADE ALL 3 DUCK JIBES, SEVERAL FAST TACKS AND JUMPS. WIND DID START DROPPING BELOW 20 ABOUT 4PM AND ALTHOUGH THE 6.0 WOULD HAVE WORKED, RIGGED DOWN AND STOPPED.
