Wind Journal for Mike Murphy Saturday April 17, 2004

29th session in 2004 Sailed at BIB Wind from the SE (mph) lulls: 18 average: 23 gusts: 29 Rated a 8 of 10		Board: 268 NAISH ENDURO Sail: 6.0 EZZY INFINITY Fin: 13.5" WEED Suit: SHORT Water Temperature: 75 F Air Temperature: 75 F
HAD TO GET STARTED WITH 6.0 AND IT WAS EASILY 5.3 BEFORE FINISHING A GOOD SESSION. TACK BAF BETWEEN ISLAND #1 AND LAUNCH, WITH SOME RUNS ALONG THE SANDBAR ALL THE WAY TO THE BOAT RAMP END. PRETTY HEAVY ON THE OUTSIDE WITH GUSTS AND HOLES INSIDE, FLAT WATER ALONG THE SANDBAR. STAYED ABOUT FULLY POWERED MOST OF THE TIME. OCCASIONALLY OVERPOWERED BUT IN CONTROL, MADE A FEW OUTSIDE FAST TACKS AND A NOT SO GOOD DUCK JIBE INSIDE. TODAY'S TOP SPEED, BILL JONES @ 40.4 WAS THE FIRST OVER 40, SURELY THERE WILL BE SEVERAL MORE SOON. MEG SEEMED FAST AND SHE AND ROBERT BOTH GOT +/-35.
