Cruiser Day 2

After a period of light wind early in the day, Friday afternoon turned out to be another mellow cruising day, a bit like Thursday, perhaps a bit lighter wind and definitely cloudier. Not quite as pleasant conditions, but the 5.3/90L was pretty fun from about 3:00 to 4:00 which looks like it was probably the best sailing of the day. After about 4:00 the wind dropped substantially.

In the waves department there's really been nothing on the north shore the past few days. I drove past Hookipa on Friday and it was absolutely flat. Same for Uppers at Kanaha. Might explain why the pros are at Kanaha practicing slalom and Supercross. Team Maui Sails was out yesterday blasting around buoys, racing former The Team member Matt Pritchard and another Gaastra/Tabou guy practing for the upcoming supercross season. Watching guys race around buoys is pretty common site at Kanaha, especially this time of year as the racers start to come out of the woodwork and practice for the upcoming Maui Race Series. But, watching the guys duck jibe around the bouys and throw in the required spocks of supercross makes it a bit more interesting to watch. Too bad I left my camera at home yesterday.
