I didn’t like anything I did and I spent a lot of time doing it. It would have been better to follow my rule number one: ALWAYS GO! as in always go WINDSURFING! uh, unless it’s a tornado—windsurfing in a tornado wouldn’t be very smart.

Wednesday I got that great half hour because I was there!

Windsurfing Berkeley October 16 2008There was no wind anywhere on Thursday. I went to the marina hoping for a day like Wednesday. It didn’t happen and I used the non-sailing time to glue the ripped grip back onto my booms.

Wah! As I was launching, all my windsurfing buddies were landing. I tricked until it got too light even for twirling the sail.

Windsurfing Berkeley October 9 2008Thursday I didn’t expect the wind to get so good! I rigged the Hansen B-Wave 5.1, which is difficult to trick because it doesn’t luff. I was kind of unhappy, because I could have been having more fun on the 6.2 Bash and 94 FSW. Who knew?
