The Peconic Puffin

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

An hour is much much better than none.   Particularly when the water is warm and there's a crowd to sail with!

South Jamesport saw me and The Art of Windsurfing on finned boards, with Joe Bruce James and Rob on wind foils (I think I'm mistaken there…one other sailor was on a windsurfing board but I forget who.  Someone correct me please!)   I was on a 5.4, Art on a 5.8 perhaps, and the foilers on four meter stuff with the wind a little more South than usual for SJ.    

I would have had more than an hour but I pulled a footstrap out of the board…the inserts on my 109JP are worn out after 19 years!  Switched to holes I don't normally use and managed some duck jibes and even a hoss tack (attempt) before the Big Hole arrived and we all limped in.

I'm still grateful for the session.  More soon please!
