I wish you all countless amazing sessions, and may all your gear hold up better mine does :) May 2006 be a record-setting windy year. If it's windy when I get...
What's the deal. 520 cam shows no whitecaps, but the anemometer reads 30 knots southerly. Ralph [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

The wind had a very easterly component this morning - all the whitecaps were on the western shore of the lake. I stopped by Magnuson with the kids and there...

It's about time, I finally make it to Richmond Beach after years of winter sailing on just Lake Wa. Blowing a good 15 to 20+ or so at 3pm so in I went with no...
Sailed Maggie today from 12-3:30. The wind was up and down at times and varied from light 6.7 to powered 5.8 and from ESE to SSE. No rain and fairly warm....
So, I think I found a "safe" spot to sail big southerlies on the coast in the winter, that being the harbor at Crescent City. I was down there all last week...
... I started sailing at Maggie on a Easterly at 10:00AM and ended up on a SE at 3:30. So tired I had to sleep an extra hour this morning. Ralph - Maggie...

Damn this sucks. Last time if you recall, I was out at Maggie (a couple of days ago) and busted a mast. On Jan 1 06, I was out at Newcastle on my trusty 7.5...
... Ralph, It takes me about 5 years to break as much gear as you've broken in one season; and I thought I was hard on gear. There can be no doubt - you're ...
Ralph, you're probably not cursed. Jumping a ~130L board with a 46cm fin is not exactly typically use for that board! When you were on your fateful reach, I...
That was a crazy day - made me start thinking about an adjustable outhaul...although the way it ramped up then backed off a 5.5 and paddle might work...
... Thanks for the tip Don. I didn't know that one. I should try it, but I can see how it would work. The rocker would serve to sink the board and help it ...
A real easy no fin sailing technique is to sink the windward rail vigorously - while you won't plane - you will head upwind and you get to keep your harness...
... Hi Ralph My guess would be the quality of the stock HiFly Fin. I had mine shear off on about its 5th day of use, also a long way from shore. I was not...
The rail-sailing sounds very sensible, and probably safer than taking off your harness and risking arm fatigue if conditions are nasty. I recall trying to sail...

I too have experience of losing a fin while quite a ways off shore. I was on a 140 litre board and tried attaching the harness to the back of the board. I gave...
Rick, ken didn't make it. I gotto La Ventana on the 28th. I rented a car and drove to start my adventure. I couldn't find the shortcut until I enlisted the...
