Bird Island Basin, Corpus Christi, TX. I don't know what it is with the wind meters here - it always feels much windier on the water! The SBI meter today showed max gusts of 24 mph, and averages mostly below 20. The meter in WorldWinds had recorded a 31 mph gust, though, and 25 mph averages at times, which seems about right.

Maiden voyage of the "new to us" 1012 Falcon 99. Sailed it with a TR-7 7.0 and BP WS 38 - underpowered at first, later nicely powered. I must have gotten that 30 mph gust while on a downwind speed run! Gusty NNE wind meant straight runs out and some small but managable chop. A tad chilly for Texas standards at first (high 50s F), so the 4.5 mm and semi dry suits came out. But compared the Cape Cod, it's heaven! 

More wind on tap for tomorrow :-).
