Dying Kanaha wind
The wind howled all night Monday night in Kihei, portending strong wind on Tuesday. After a morning of work, I headed over to Kanaha - Kihei was hella-windy but it was way offshore. The wind line was at least a half mile or more away.
Kanaha looked promising on arrival. I rigged 4.5 and headed out. Either I called it wrong or the wind dropped once I got out past the break. I sailed around a bit at Lowers, marginally powered, but the wind kept dropping. Waves were about waist high mostly. I finally got tired of being underpowered and decided to go in and slogged back in, downwind past the lifeguard station.
The wind continued to drop through the afternoon and some tradewind showers arrived late afternoon and pretty much dampened any further thoughts of sailing.
