I have been on injured reserve for a while and excited to finally get a probationary wind trial. I was released for a 30-45 minute sesh. It was unlikely I could stop that quick without John along to steal my equipment. And sure enough I made it past 1.5 hours. Much smoother wind than anything we experienced in August. Just perfect 6.0 winds. Nice that the cooler temperatures are allowing the wind to continue until 11:00 instead of the 10:00 stoppage in August. The reach is getting a little short so went steep upwind going east so I could have screaming broad reaches coming back to shore. Tons of fun. Only a couple of fishermen were around for a mostly sunny but somewhat hazy morning. Water is down of course but hasn’t dropped that much since August. Attitude is everything and I was pumped to be back on the water.
