last day on the obx

slow start to the day, but it looked pretty hot and windy from the south..went and fetched Jim and some gear and headed to the ocean for a sail..it was quite gusty - later we found that it was varying from 10-29 knots.  The ocean water was still cold, so shorties were on.  I got out and had a few rips and Mike came along to the beach with my camera.

After a little while I was paranoid about the blowing sand and had him put it away. Went back out and the waves weren't really organized to play on, but got a few airs.  Even saw a school of dolphins - glad to see it was their fins and not any other type of creature.


Jim wasn't getting too much satisfaction, due to his added weight and smaller board.  I was fine on my 102/ 5.2 combo, but he's got 40 lbs on me and was on his 90/ 5.4.  Later we hit the sound and had some rips on 4.2 & Mike's 5.1.I tried the 85 Quatro but without a weed fin it was hopeless - back to the JP.  Mike got Alyson to film from shore and we buzzed her while Mike tried to get proof of a jybe.  Great day overall, ended up in the pool with the kids and then supper and pack.
