Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Sunday February 29, 2004

10th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 14 average: 21 gusts: 26 Rated a 9 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: LONG JOHN Water Temperature: 67 F Air Temperature: 72 F
LESS THAN THE 20-25+ FORECAST BUT EVENTUALLY A GOOD DAY, WARM, SUNNY WITH 18-14 SAILING ON 5.2-8.5 SEVERAL IN SHORTIES AND ONE WITH NO WETSUIT. TACK WAS TO ISLAND #1 ALTHOUGH DID MAKE ISLAND #2 A COUPLE OF TIMES. WIND WAS MORE CONSISTENT OUTSIDE BUT THE GUST WERE FINE INSIDE AND IT PICKED-UP AND FILLED-IN IN DURING LAST HALF OF SESSION. SET RIG AT ABOUT MINIMUM, LATER TWEAKED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR MORE OUTHAUL. POWERED ENOUGH TO PLANE 90% AND ALWAYS HAD PLENTY FOR AGRESSIVE JIBES. MADE SEVERAL NICE POWERED JIBES, A FEW WITH GOOD PLANING EXITS, TWO DUCK JIBES AND TWO FAST TACKS ALL AT THE INSIDE SANDBAR. ALSO HAD THREE RUNS BETWEEN LAUNCH AND BOAT RAMP END WHICH WERE VERY FLAT SPEED RUNS.
