2641 days ago BIB, Corpus Christi, TX. Forecast was 11-13 knots, we got averages of 16 gusting to 21. Perfect day to try the Switchblade 7.8 that at WorldWinds! I felt like I was getting pulled by a freight train once I got moving - nice! 8 knots faster than the wind speed in gusts is much better than what I usually see. I did not even do many speed runs, since the BP WS 38 on the Falcon 99 felt a bit too small, and going upwind was a pain. I got a couple of Tectonics fins coming ... will be interesting to use the sail in more wind with a better fin. Sunny, air temps in the 70s, water in the 60s - I love Texas!
