 Same old story. It was howling when I arrived at Scarborough Beach, it died while I was rigging. at least I was skunked in R.I. for a change.After not windsurfing, I visited my mother in Conn. She had her hip replaced 1 week go and is doing great. Go Mom! Picture- Scarborough had the waves, no wind. |
Bah, bad luck!
ReplyDeleteSergey and I woke at 5:30 and should have just gone to West Dennis, where it blew 25 from about 7am to 10:30am. But we didn't. It came up like crazy at Pleasure Bay, so we both dashed there. By the time I got there, it had fallen from 25-30 to about 10.
Scott- I had imagined that everyone but me had gone to West Dennis and had a great time, just like last weekend. Now I don't feel quite as bad.
ReplyDeleteAlright Steve, I admit that when it comes to computer management, I'm lazy at best.
ReplyDeleteI figure that when you skip over my beach to sail at First Encounter, it's time to learn how to comment.
Skaket produces almost identical conditions, with easier parking / access. Lisa and those guys sail at Skaket too.
When it comes to a NW or NNW, I think the angle is better at home. The tack is slightly side off (off to the south)
We're gonna hook up one of these days. I can't complain after last Thursday being the biggest sailing of the year - no kiters out. Yesterday morning a surf session made it easier to spend the afternoon inside at laser tag in Hyannis.

Hey, Ron, I was thinking about you on Saturday! I was hoping that the kiting crew was going to pick Skaket so I could finally kite/sail in your pond.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that you want me there these days though, since I'll fly a kite if the wind is under 20!
I would have loved some company windsurfing when the wind cranked up. I couldn't believe that everyone else left just when the wind got good. I seem to be sailing solo more and more. Maybe you're experienceing the same trend.
