ABOUT LIKE YESTERDAY BUT STARTED BLOWING EARLIER. TACK WAS TO ISLAND #1 AND BACK TO THE BOAT RAMP END. EASIER TO STAY UPWIND TODAY SO MADE HALF DOZEN OR SO RUNNS TO ISLAND #2. IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO CROSS THE IWC AFTER ISLAND #2 BUT THE WATER LEVEL IS STILL RELATIVELY LOW. MISSED A DUCK AND LAYDOWN JIBES AND INSIDE FAST TACK. SURE IS NICE TO WANT TO BE WET WITH THE WARM WATER, MAY TRY AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW SOON. DID MAKE A COUPLE OF DUCK JIBES, INSIDE FAST TACK AND BUNCHES OF OUTSIDE FAST TACKS. HAD SOME FUN PLANING JIBES BUT NOTHING REALLY FAST. EASY PLANING AND BETTER SPEED OVERALL TODAY, THE RETURN ALONG THE SANDBAR WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT A BIT HOLEY. GPS >>> 47 MILES 28.9 PEAK SPEED
