Britannia afternoon
I was one of the first sailors to arrive at Britannia beach and I had high hopes. Sunny and warm with a sw wind predicted to reach 20knts. Cute bikini blond showed up and said she'd been sailing for 15 yrs but left her mast at the cottage - she was bummed when she saw I was rigging my 5.7. (I mention the hottie because that doesn't happen often). She didn't miss much because the wind was somewhat lousy. Sailed the gusts..the wind veered more west but really didn't get consistent. Spent the whole afternoon hanging out and eventually put rigged up my 6.8. Some more sailors showed up (craig, steve, alex, steve slaby, peter, jon, dave...others) Got planing a lot of times but it only seemed to last for a few minutes. I should have taken a pic of this one dudes rig - it had more tape on it than monofilm...at first I thought it was a graphic. His board was painted sea blue and looked like it came out of the garbage. I told him next time I come to the beach I'll bring some old sails that he can take. Met some female triathletes that were swimming the bay and chatted about the sport. Today I took the trailer because all my stuff was already in it. Guys are thinking of sbx for friday but I don't think I can swing it.
