Rifle Rd

Marc emailed me on Saturday with a heads up for Sunday morning - some east wind forecast for the morning following by rain...constance bay or rifle road?  Although cold and apparently not that windy (in my yard), I met up with Marc at Rifle rd around 9am (he also required my expert kite launching skills).  It was cranking pretty hard and there was no rain.  Marc went out on his 9 and I rigged 5.7.  After about 15-20 minutes I traded in for my 5.0 and was perfectly powered for the next couple of hours.  Around 12:30 we'd had enough and the rain started (although the wind continued strong)...ran into Brent of B&B Surf.  Marc and I grabbed some sushi at Hockey Sushi in Kanata.  Overall awesome session despite the colder air.  Patagonia suit has been super warm.  Still trying the odd vulcan here and there...accidentally ducked the sail really early on a jybe and ended up sailing on the same tack clew first...then flipped the sail back...that was weird...and not as hard as I thought it should be.  Next time I'll try that on purpose.

just after 9am  - all rigged up - (camera phone is sucking)
