Last session of the 2009 season?
Had to get out, it's been 10 days since the last outing at Marysville. Click here

It looked light but I rigged the 5.0 Ezzy because it was the biggest sail I brought.
Attached it to the 101 RRD and debated if it was worth it or not.
Ron on his 7.5 wrapping things up, Jeff on a 7.5, Gerry on an 8.0 and Walt on his one and only 9.0, all are ripping. Millard waiting for steadier winds before he rigs and Craig on his way.
Sunny 48 air degrees probably 45 water degrees 8-20 mph NE wind.
Next step is to get the rubber on and once the rubber is on there is no waiting around.
Went out and had an unexpected good hour session before the hands needed a warm up.
Plenty of dense cold air to quickly get up on a plane with some nice smooth swells south of the
point to help keep the planning going. Did a few ducks, heli-tacks and quick down wind turns off the swell to keep the speed.
Although an odd direction I've never sailed there on a NE before. Your tack takes you toward the Clinton River
area. The area between the Lagoon launch and the Clinton River seemed to be where the best wind and swell was.
After a brief warm-up in front of the fire pit I went back out for a half hour session.
That's when the wind killer came and when ever he comes the wind shuts down ):
A total of 4 windsurfers on the water and about 5 kiters enjoyed a late season session.
