"it's a piece of sporting equipment"


We got lucky again. Sunday was warm,[low 40's] with a nice 20-25 westerly. I was able to sail my new favorite combo; the JP 109 and a 5.5 Ezzy wave. Sailed from 10 till 1. High tide was at one, so exiting through the shore break was not graceful. I have my first repair on the JP this week. A small ding. As Damien Kelly, [the man who taught me glass work] used to say "it's a piece of sporting equipment". Later that afternoon, the cold front came barreling through, complete with snow squalls, and 50 knot gusts and a 20 degree temperature drop.

Steve Domjan took some great shots of the day at http://www.windsurfing.domjans.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34&page=1
Thanks Steve.
