And then the wind came!

Session #2 - 2015 Tybee North Beach

The fog moved out and the wind moved in.

Wind was dialed up from the Sunday session and shifted a bit more to the north making sailing conditions perfect for the North Beach.

Steady 15 knots gusting to 20 knots.

Started with the 6.5 in the deep pocket setting. After a two or three OP'ed runs I put more twist in the top of the sail and flatten out the pocket to the high wind setting... a 6.0 would have been a better sail or possibly even a 5.2.

I dropped the fin size down from a 34MM to a 30MM and the board was much more lively but more prone to spinning out.

All in all a near epic session. I hope this augers will for the rest of the season. :shock: :shock:

Atlanta reporting: cold, wet, dreary, no appreciable breeze.

Waiting for the next full moon to sail.

OK, I have a severe case of wind envy. More calm, cold and rainy Wx here in Atlanta.
