Was keen to get to Stansbury for a sail 'cause the forecast was looking good. I got a message from Jay as i was knocking off from my work shift, saying he was nearly at Stansbury. So i hurried down and had a chat and then rigged up. It was blowing about 20-25 and the tide was out a bit. Headed out and sailed the line inside the spit and settled in for a powered up hour. The wind seemed to back off a bit but kept sailing for a distance score. A lot of floating weed on the run line but blasted through it with the Fangy, it did slow the hour down a bit. Jay was sailing well but having trouble with weed catching in the fin. Suprised with the 35 though it did not feel that fast.
I think the Trickster has nearly healed up, which is good. He has missed some really great summer sailing conditions here at the local spot. With the weed growing Stansbury has the feel of a mini Lake George only with a short runway
Great to catch up with Jay
