Day #23 on the lake!!!

Max Temperature 95 °F / 35 °C
Forecast: SW 5-15
Wind Speed 3 mph / 10 km/h
Max Wind Speed 15 mph / 24 km/h
Max Gust Speed 24 mph / 39 km/h


NEW GPS RECORD!!! 23.8 mph

They called for wind, but not this much wind!


I got on the water at 11:30 with the Fanatic, 7.5 and 13.5 ATX fin and had some great runs! Tim finally got on the water about an hour later. I had just thought how great I was pointing and how rusty Tim must be, but he shot upwind like a rocket and I worked for 30 minutes to get upwind to him. Winds were really gusty and shifty; we rarely caught the same lift or header.

I sailed from 11:30- 2:00, took an hour break, went back out for 30 minutes and was done.
