The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

I haven't windsurfed in ages.  Haven't sailed a full day since April.   So when Peconic Jeff catches a midweek sesh as he did last week, I need to hear all about it.  Shredding vicariously, if you will.   Jeff said:

"Caught a solid 2 hrs with a flat 5.2 & 100L this late afternoon on the Great Peconic. Numerous planing jibes and only a few lulls. The main downside was the water smelling like chicken poop after all the rainfall."

Jeff had chickens as a boy so he knows his shit.   He also observed that according to the Southampton Press, the western Shinnecock Bay is seeing a brown tide algae bloom.

I'm hoping the Peconic stays blue-green, and really hoping for some wind.
