WOW, LATE SEASON COLD FRONT HIT WITH A HEAVY NORTH WIND, PLENTY OF WEEDS AND NICE HIGH WATER LEVEL. SAILS RANGED FROM 4.7-7.4, EVAN & MATHEW ON 5.0 AND TOM ON 5.2 ALL DOING VERY WELL. TACK WAS STRAIGHT OUT AND BACK ACROSS THE IWC, MADE SEVERAL ROUND TRIPS TO THE KING RANCH CROSSING THE IWC AT THE WHITE PVC MARKER. THE OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE IWC HAD NICE CHOP AND SWELLS ALTHOUGH THE WIND WAS NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT. DID SEVERAL NICE JUMPS GOING ACROSS AND A FEW ON THE RETURN. REALLY EASY AND FUN SAILING, A BIT UNDERPOWERED, HARDLY EVER FULLY POWERED BUT ALWAYS PLANING. MISSED A COUPLE OF INSIDE FAST TACKS DUE TO LIMITED SPEED BUT MANAGED TO STAY DRY ALL DAY.
