It was my wedding anniversary, but Sally let me go out east for the day to catch the wind.  A fine wife!   Called Scott during the drive…he told me it was blowing big…4.2 at least!    I arrived at Sebonac early afternoon, to watch two wingers struggling to get out of the water in nuking…

I used to be the guy pushing the limits of cold weather sailing…I remember a day Peconic Jeff and I set out to not leave until our sails were iced up during a Mecox session.   But I haven't managed a winter session yet this season, and we're 1/3 through!   Leave it to Artie to hit…

I haven't gone through an entire winter without a session since 1996.   It had been four months since my last sesh (at Meschutt).   FINALLY the windsurfing gods said "okay it won't be ideal but there will be wind and people to share it with" so I ended up at South Jamesport with Scott, Artie, Christian,…

For the entire winter a session had evaded me.  Scott too…between life schedules, cold temperatures and lack of wind, while many of us had gotten little, the Earl of Kielt and I had got none. Then Sunday Sebonac Inlet beckoned.   Cold (36-40) but sunny and windy.    I had obligations, but Scott made it on…

It's March.  I haven't sailed since November.   The last time I went this long between sessions was 2006!   Bad luck, bad scheduling, bad winter for me!

Me I was on a plane flying from Europe to JFK.  We flew in straight east, so I knew it was still blowing straight west.  But catching it in the first frigid sesh of the year were George Pav, Artie, Chris, Rob and Steve…maybe others in 38 degrees (my cutoff is 40 unless there's blazing…

There is something known as Classic Meschutt Conditions.  CDC.  With NW winds and outgoing tide, lines of perfect two-foot ramps set up on the inside to jump, and on the outside well-spaced rollers to jibe off of.   Friday we had CDC.   And the wind? "Perfect 4.2" Scott pronounced. Indeed.  Scott and Frank were on it…

It was just Scotto and me at Sebonac Inlet Sunday.   4.7, midsized boards, sunny rampy and windfull.  Where was everybody?    The Art of Windsurfing was sailing solo at West Meadow.  George caught some at Iron Pier.  And I suspect a lot of people were exhausted from a fine Saturday session that I missed (I…

The rave reviews would not stop. "Excellent 4.2!" "I can't believe it's February!" "Looks like the Gorge! "It's like Hatteras!" "A perfect day!" The last session of the shortest month was a great one according to all who partook! Those duly shredding included Joe Nat, Frank, Artie, Pav, Bruce, Robert.  Send more names and add…
