20th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 17 average: 21 gusts: 26 Rated a 6 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 5.3 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 12.5" WAVE BLADE Suit: SHORT Water Temperature: 74 F Air Temperature: 75 F
SEEMED ABOUT LIKE YESTERDAY, MAYBE LESS CONSISTENT AND BIGGER HOLES WITH SOME USING LARGER AND SOME SMALLER SAILS. FIRST TIME TO RIG THE 5.3, SET AT ABOUT MINIMUM EXCEPT WITH MORE POSITIVE OUTHAUL AND COULD USE LESS BASE EXTENSION AT MINIMUM. TACK BAF TO ISLAND #1 AT FIRST THEN ABLE TO RUN CLOSER TO THE SANDBAR LATER. GOOD PLANING AND FAIR SPEED GOING SOUTH, DID A FEW FAST TACKS AND HOPS, BUT RARELY EITHER ON RETURN. DID MAKE A FEW RUNS TO THE BOAT RAMP END AND MANAGED A COUPLE OF POWERED DUCK JIBES. FORECAST IS PROMISING FOR NEXT 4 DAYS AND HOPING TO GET A COUPLE BETTER 5.3 DAYS.
