Great day out at the park, steadily building breeze but a touch gusty and very bumpy, got worse as the day wore on. Barton is back in town so fun to catch up and sail together, even if the water is a touch cold for him! Solid 30 knots at the end and chop Suey had taken up residence.

Sailworks Retro 6.5, Retro 5.5, JP Magic Ride 104, JP FreestyleWave 77 Wind: building from 16 knots to 23G30

First, a big thank you to Roo for all the helpful tips and encouragement he provided today!

As I expected, my first day at the Gorge this year was a humbling experience. My cruising around Lac Bay in 15 knot winds didn't fully prepare me for today. I started out OK with the 6.5 and the MR104. Made a couple of runs (of course blew the jibes) and got intimidated by the 58 F water temps (I like the 82F of Bonaire). Eventually mentally calmed down just in time for the wind to build. Rigged the 5.5 but was tailwalking a little with it. Roo suggested switching to the 77 FSW which I did by then the wind was more than I wanted to deal with knowing I was going to spend a lot of time in the damn cold water... Roo provided rigging tips for this type of condition and then provided a tip worth the trip to Oregon - how to clear a race sail luff sleeve when full of water. Use the board as leverage, DO NOT try to lift the tip of the sail. Smile

Great work Al and a nice PB on the 5 x 10s. Got yourself two jelly beans as well.

Great numbers Roo and Al. Watching Roo cruise in the conditions today was a great learning experience for me - and he is an amazing sailor, BTW  Laughing

Here's the track from today. Thank you for the nice compliments Barton, look forward to more time on water the next few days. We'll get you feeling comfortable out there.

Congrats to the PB, Al! Nicely done. You have to come and sail some of the speed spots on Cape Cod sometime! Light wind here yesterday, but we may see some decent wind the next 2 days. I just got an Isonic Speed 54 yesterday...
