Powerlines

May 31st, 2009

Saturday, May 30th. 27mph wind average + ebb. I need 15 more kilos on the belly or 15 less liters in the board!

The Fleet

May 25th, 2009

With most of the bay shrouded in 3000ft-tall fog blanket, shining sun and steady WNW in Palo Alto made sailors appear in record numbers. What a day!

Too much wind?

March 22nd, 2009

Birds could not get upwind. Both sail (4.0) and board (93L) were flying readily on waterstart. I almost cannot believe that we sailed on a bigger day last spring. Here is a couple of minutes of shore-based footage for illustration:

A Preview

March 8th, 2009

North Pacific High made a shy (with a tad of WSW) appearance today, first in the year. Paging Mike Godsey!

Let me Fly!

March 6th, 2009

Good old-fashioned 6.6 fun at Coyote. Unreliable clearing wind, kept switching to WSW, driving port tack right into chop. Need to work on keeping the horizon level!

Hyperventilation

March 1st, 2009

Deceptive winter wind pattern, never mind the date. Got stuck waterstarting on the outside with some chop and little wind. Then it came up with a vengeance, I could only get couple of reaches with the kit that I rigged. Hey, it’s spring now and there are no excuses to keep sails dry anymore!
