Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Thursday March 04, 2004

12th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the S (mph) lulls: 18 average: 23 gusts: 29 Rated a 7 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 4.7 EZZY SE WAVE Fin: 11.0" WEED Suit: LONG JOHN Water Temperature: 70 F Air Temperature: 72 F
IT LIVED UP TO THE FORECAST AND NUKED, SAILS FROM 3.7-6.6. EVAN AND MATHEW HAD PLENTY ON 4.0/3.7 AND TOM MANAGED 4.7. WATCHED, WAITED AND BY THE TIME I WENT OUT THE 4.7 WAS BARELY ENOUGH BUT....... TACKED DOWNWIND OF ISLAND #1 AND ACROSS THE IWC TO THE KING RANCH SHORE ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. WIND WAS FAIRLY STEADY PLANING WITH GOOD SPEED NEVER OVERPOWERED AND THERE WERE SOME NICE SMALL SWELLS. WORKED UPWIND FOR SEVERAL RUNS AND CROSSED THE IWC BETWEEN ISLANDS #1 & #2 HAD TO WALK ACROSS SHALLOWS) BETWEEN. THE SESSION ACROSS THE IWC WAS WORTHWHILE BUT NEVER WAS ABLE TO GET PLANING ON THIS SIDE OF THE IWC.
