Grandview

Expecting more than what it was.
EC called for 30-50kph winds from the NW but they were no where near that.  Checked the direction at Britannia and it was more north than west.  Ran into Max and Carol there and we chatted about the Gorge, the helmet cam I almost bought from them and the day's wind.  Next I headed to Grandview hoping for better exposure to the wind.  Jon, Richard and Guy were there but the wind wasn't that strong.  Rigged up my 6.5 and messed around for a while mostly planing.  We joked about trying some forward rolls online the day before, but the conditions weren't helping so I didn't pull the trigger.  Water is starting to get cold now.  My feet were pretty numb, and when I got home I noticed my pinky's neighbour toe was very dark purple and sore.  I guess when you can't feel them it's easy to break or sprain them.  Sailed for an hour or two.
