Just a Quickie

Managed to sneak in an unexpected mid-day quickie session today. It wasn't supposed to blow today, but when I checked my online sources everything looked good to go. So, time to postpone mundane obligations and head down. On arrival, wind looked to be blowing around 20, light on the inside but maybe stronger on the outside. Rigged 5.3/90L. Great for about 15 minutes then the wind picked up about 5mph. Soon the 5.3 was more than a handful. 4.7 would have been ideal. Not much wave action. Just sloppy waist-high stuff, so jumping was the preferred adrenaline fix over wave riding.

So, the forecast is still calling for SE winds - which usually means no windsurfing on Maui - through Saturday. But, wise Maui windsurfers know, not to count out the possibility of sailable winds here regardless of what the weather geeks say.
