Maui Goes Nuclear

The wind kicked in big time here on Maui on Tuesday. Got there early to get some sailing in before having to move. 4.5 was barely enough slogging out. Worked upwind to Uppers and then the switch came on. Wham! Wind kicked in to solid 4.0. There was a small swell and I tried to play in that a bit, but the wind was too strong and the water was getting too churned up. Just when I thought I was crazily overpowered, the wind notched up a bit more, easyily 3.7 for me. Had a "fun" time working my way back downwind. Packed up and called it a day.

Yesterday was much the same from what I've heard. I had too much to do to make it to the water, but word was that it was as windy or windier yesterday than Tuesday.
