Friday June 6, Gorge of the Great Lakes

Keith in the groove...

Beach day....

The Silver Fox ducking it...

Solid south 180° winds

Brent making it look easy

A good looking chart...

Wow, Marysville delivered this Friday with south winds ranging from nuking near gales to 7M wind holes a mere 10 feet away. We were sailing from 2-8pm and it was sunny hot (88°), humid and infested with millions of fishflys. Crazy that in 40+ winds these little pests were in the middle of the river as you ripped on the water they hit and would sting your face? The wind and the made it a wave riding day more than jumps since there was nothing to hit without going upwind. All in all though a very memorable day and alot of Aleve on Saturday morning. Very Gorge-like sailing here in Michigan, could of fooled me.

Gear: 85 JP FSW, 5M NP Search, then 105 XCite last hour

There: Millard, Brent, Keith, Craig...
