If we get a five meter day in August we are grateful.   But 4.7!    Artie reports:   "I met Scott-O and the Wolf and when I got there at about 3:30, Scott was coming off the water to rig down to a 4.7; I figured that's my cue to rig at least a sail size larger cause you know me! Well that was a HUGE mistake cause I was waaaaay overpowered! But, like you know, when we get into certain situations, we accommodate; so that's what I did….I accommodated…with MORE DOWNHAUL! Probably 4.2 by the time we left at 6pm. "

It's true Artie likes to sail with a lot of gas, but he must have been flying.   Hot and windy…resort windsurfing!   Now:  When am I going to catch one of these sessions?   I'm hopeful for soon!
