16th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 17 average: 20 gusts: 24 Rated a 8 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: SHORT Water Temperature: 73 F Air Temperature: 75 F
DIDN'T EXPECT MUCH TODAY BUT IT STARTED STAYED ABOVE 15 FORECAST AFTER 2PM, PEAKING AT 3PM WITH 20-25. HAD VAN IN SHOP BUT GOT THERE FOR SOME PRETTY GOOD STUFF. TACK WAS JUST UPWIND OF ISLAND #1 WITH CONSISTENT POWER GOING OUT AND A BIT HOLEY INSIDE. DID SEVERAL FAST TACKS BUT FINALLY MISSED A JIBE OUTSIDE AND MADE A NICE DUCK JIBE INSIDE. NOTHING MUCH BUT GOOD NICELY POWERED AND STEADY PLANING WITH LESS THAN A DOZEN SAILING. FIRST DAY IN SHORTIE WAS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE SUN OUT.
