Sunday, June 8 Metro Hot winds in front of big Stroms

JB jamming on the 4.6M

Whitecaps all day long...

Jet skis and kiters all fighting for the same space...

Metro on a 90+ degree Sunday - crazy winds 20+ WSW that came out of nowhere and pretty much lasted all day. Good group about 20-30 sailors out for an early start and winds that were holey and gusty (like Friday at M-ville). Day started bad with my first run on the 5.7 Expression and snapping a NP 430 X7 Wave mast 5 minutes into the session on the outside point. Thanks to Tom who stopped and dragged me into the beach for 30+ minutes - much appreciated! After the 1/4 mile walk back to the launch the other 430 worked well with the 5M search. Most everyone all off the water by 4 pm - storms were on the horizon and we were beat...

There: Everyone - even the boys from returning DR for a final sailing day of their trip.

Winds: 10-35mph WSW, SW etc.

Gear: 85 JP FSW, 4.5 Search, 5M search, 5.7 Expression

Demo'd: 101 RRD FSW = Thanks Brent

Ordering: new NP Combat RDM
