072 - Only thing close to a forecast in and for awhile and it was just a tease except for the biggest sails, and this was the peak of the day.  Ran out to SI#1 back to the Horseshoe Spoil and into the North Basin past the big dune and continued north along the shoreline.  Just got a few longish planing runs here and there but gotta return in better wind because that north shoreline flatwater is awsome with only 2-3 foot dune lin for miles .  The return was along the drop-off and through the no boat cut mostly slogging until past SI#2 and across the IWC just below SI#3.  It was difficult to make it back upwind of SI#2, went down once before making it then again between SI#1 and the shoreline, both deep water starts took awhile, finally making it back to the start.  Too many holes, gusts too small and too much work for no play.
