Got out early to beat Huey to the punch, dropped after an hour but nice mrning session with no traffic. Found 2 broken battens yesterday, wondered why the sail felt weird. All fixed and back up to speed. Getting back into the hang of spring windsurfing in the Gorge, scored 5 days this past week and 4 the one before so happy with TOW. Session 20 so far and lots more to come. Testing with GPSLogit 10hz, boy I love that app!

 

Great work team, looks as if we ended the month in 9th overall for the International rankings. Let go one better each month now until the end of the year!

Roo, you just keep cranking out the speed numbers Smile. Looking forward to a couple of weeks from now when I can put a number (and a personal goal) to how much faster you are than me in similar conditions (10 knots, 5 knots, a lot..., I'm completely convinced Laughing). After sailing for 7 months in sub-20 knot winds, I'm hoping to finally crack my 30 knot barrier sailing at the Gorge...

Wind is forceast to die in a couple of weeks, they are cancelling windsurfing for the summer. Too many complaints from kiters being scared by fast windsurfers. Splashed a kite foiler today, snuck up behind him and he totally submarined it...great fun!

OK then, glad to know this before I left Bonaire, I'll plan on working on the Corvallis house this Summer., or go SCUBA diving in Indonesia Wink . Last Summer it cranked on Bonaire almost every day from May to mid-September (mid-20 knots) ... and then I returned to Bonaire from a fairly discouraging 'marginal Gorge wind' from late July/August/Sept only to have the normal Fall wind doldrums arrive here... Glad I've learned to enjoy 100+ L boards and 7+ sq m sails Smile
