Inconsistency

Our word for the day in Maui Windsurfing is "inconsistency." An upper level low is lurking around the islands basically making the skies cloudy and showery and the wind up and down and swirly. Got to Kanaha to what looked like strong 4.5 conditions. Hit the water and the wind backed off to meager 5.0 conditions then even more meager 5.8. After coming in, the winds then cranked up to 30 for awhile before backing back off. Skies were cloudy the whole time and the wind was mostly side-offshore, but changed directions frequently. I'm sure this isn't what all the tourists in town were hoping for, but at least it is windy.
