I was supposed to meet Bob H. at Cook at 11:00, but I ran 1/2 hour late. I got to Cook, found no Bob in sight and began rigging the 7.5, but as it picked up, I left the 7.5 with a mast in her and rigged a 5.5 for the 101 liter Veloce.

Bob finally showed up and rigged a 7.5 (he's 230 lbs.) as it blew like stink. We got on the water at 12:45 and both of us had lots of good runs, but there were holes. John C. showed up and was rigging 6.0 for his Screamer, but broke his mast. I lent him my 460, so that took my 7.5 out of the picture, which I was planning to switch to. Oh well, it was worth it to see John sail.

I quit at 2:45 as my legs were tired and the wind was too variable for my taste. Bob & John came in 30 minutes later.
