Hard Winds a-Blowin'

The title refers to a classic windsurfing video chronicling nuclear sailing in the Gorge. It also refers to winds on the northshore of Maui today. Average wind speeds according to iWindsurf were in the low 30s. I used the wimpy excuse of having to get caught up on work to not go sailing today. Saw a local sailor in Foodland this evening who said he could have been on a 3.0.! Despite being a Gorge veteran of many years, I just don't enjoy that kind of nuclear sailing. 4.0 is reasonable. 3.0 is just insane!
