I’ve never seen parking become an issue at Sebonac Inlet before, but yesterday’s turnout meant some people had a bit of a walk with their gear.
The place was packed. A sunny Sunday session with a forecast that only got better for the three days leading up? “Count me in!” was the battle cry, and the saying that we always get wind on Mother’s Day held up. So what did we get?
It was consistently windy (I sailed 4.5 all day, always a bit overpowered.)
It was warm (put away your gloves until December, if you like sailing sans booties, now is the time.)
It was classic Sebonac rampalicious, with rolling wave action down by Cow’s Neck. We had Curtis throwing loops, a guy on 80’s slalom gear getting worked (but still having fun) and the triumphant return of Peconic Jeff (who busted a boom in his Peconic glee.) I’m not sure of everyone who caught it, as windsurfers were everywhere but on shore (Bill asked me for a Late Note when he saw me tuning my sail…an hour and a half into my session, and I didn’t get to say Hi to the Wolf until he was packing up to leave (though being the Wolf, he then changed his mind, got back into his wetsuit, rerigged and went back out.)
Seen on the scene:

And basically everyone who has appeared in this blog’s local sailing posts except for Fisherman, (who I hope caught his limit.)
