Getting Better

Beautiful day of sailing in the early afternoon today. 5.0 and sunshine. What a refreshing change from the gray skies and showers we've been having all week, or even all month for that matter. Around 3:00 however, those showers made their presence known again and shut down the wind for about an hour. Those who waited around hoping for a return of wind and sun were rewarded however, when the squall passed, the sun came out again, and the wind picked back up to 5.0 again. Somewhat punchy and shift, but a far cry better than most of the wind we've seen lately.

I had hoped to get down to watch the PWA competition today, but work got in the way. Sounds like Josh Angulo won men's and Daida Moreno won women's. Wind was pretty strong at Ho'okipa from what I heard. It was interesting to note how much less crowded Kanaha was this week while the contest was going on. Lots of people were apparently spending the day watching the event, leaving Lowers, uncharacteristically uncrowded. Should be a zoo again tomorrow.
