Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Friday January 16, 2004

3rd session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 18 average: 21 gusts: 24 Rated a 7 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: LONG JOHN Water Temperature: 65 F Air Temperature: 65 F
TOO MUCH RAIN AND SOME LIGHTNING JUST WHEN THE WIND GOT RIGHT. ROGER QUICKLY WENT FROM 9.6 TO 7.5 BUT STAYED ON THE 95 PT. BEN ARRIVED FROM CANADA AND TRIED 7.5 AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER VISITOR OUT. ONLY GOT A SHORT SESSION BUT IT WAS NICE WHILE IT LASTED. LIGHT RAIN THE WHOLE TIME OUT, BAF LAUNCH TO ISLAND #1. HAD TWO SPEED RUNS ALONG THE SANDBAR FROM LAUNCH TO BOAT RAMP, SEVERAL POWERED JIBES AND FAIRLY STEADY PLANING OVERALL. THE LIGHT RAIN FINALLY TURNED HEAVY AND QUASHED THE WIND. MAYBE A CHANCE TOMORROW WITHOUT THE RAIN?
