Wednesday Sailing

Monitoring the winds today, I was surprised to see iWindsurfing readings of 20 at Kanaha. Got an hour or so on the water, about 2 - 3pm on 5.7/90L. Initially it was good, but the wind dropped and swung a bit offshore. Looking at iWindsurf graphs afterwards, the Kanaha graphs were definitely reading too high. The airport readings reflect today's conditions better I think.

Hardly anyone on the water though. Definitely off-season for Maui windsurfing. Most everyone I saw at Uppers was either a local or a pro. Only one set of obvious tourists. Speaking of tourists, I was down at Kanaha on Monday checking out conditions when I heard, then saw a guy shouting, "Hey! What are you doing in my car! Get out of there!" One of the aforementioned tourists caught one of Maui's ubiquitous car prowlers in the act. Scared the guy into the kiawe. So, let that serve as a reminder, the car prowlers are still prowling. Whatever you do, don't "hide" your key under your bumber or in your wheel well or anywhere on your car. I've said it before, I'll say it again. These losers scout out the parking lot, watching where people "hide" their keys. When you leave, they collect the key, and treat themselves to a nice buffet of your belongings. My opinion, don't bring anything of high value to the beach with you (except your gear of course). Take your keys with you. Put them in a pocket or something. 'Nuf said on that topic for now.

BTW, thanks to Speedy and Pascal for reporting yesterday's conditions. Always great to get some input from others on this venue.
