We had some full throttle storm cells today.  How do you rig?  Your biggest sail for shlogging, or your smallest for smackdown overpowered?Stormy Weather

    I would take the one with a shorter mast than you so I’m not the tallest one on the water trying to dodge the lightning. Those were some crazy storms though. We lost power for almost 6 hours and the tree in the neighbors yard was split in half by a lightning bolt. Amazingly the kids were loving the whole thing.
    See you at the beach,

    Hm, 2:03 am on the 28th? That means that’s the chart for the 27th?
    Guess who didn’t take a just-for-laffs windsurfing lesson that day.
