Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Thursday March 11, 2004

14th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the E (mph) lulls: 19 average: 22 gusts: 25 Rated a 8 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: LONG JOHN Water Temperature: 71 F Air Temperature: 70 F
GREAT ON 15-20 FORECAST, LOT'S OF FOLKS ON 5.8-8.5 HAVING A GOOD TIME. WOULD HAVE RATED HIGHER EXCEPT FOR RELATIVELY LARGE SAIL SIZE. NEED TO REMEMBER TO WATCH FOR TRAFFIC AND DON'T HESITATE TO GIVE WAY. MOSTLY FULL PLANING AND POWERED AND WATER WAS REAL FLAT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ON THE EAST WIND. RAN BAF AS CLOSE TO SHORE AS POSSIBLE, CONSISTENT WINDS AT THE FIRST POINT DOWN BY THE BOAT RAMP. PLENTY OF GREAT POWERED JIBES OUTSIDE AND SOME GOOD ONES INSIDE. DID SEVERAL NICE FAST TACKS AND A GOOFY SIDED DUCK JIBE. SEVERAL ARE USING GPS UNITS TO GET SPEED READINGS, INTERESTING RESULTS DAILY.......TOM 28+ 5.8/OLD TIGA 260, DON K 29+ 8.7/BASSET AND BIG RIG 33+ 8.5/HYPESONIC TOPPED THE HEAP. ALL WERE EXCELLENT SPEEDS FOR THE WIND TODAY.
