Sat. 9-10, Jordanelle, Real Wind 261, 80 liter, 5.7 sail

After being skunked Friday, the wind gods made good. Arrived at Jordanelle at 10 to watch the lake covered in whitecaps. Sailed alone for a couple of hours, then talked my Gorge buddy, Gene, into driving over from Park City and using my gear for a few reaches. One other sailor. No Mas.. I couldn't hang on any more and left about 3pm....

I was the other guy. I rigged a 5.0 at ~1:30 in insane wind, rode way powered for 2 reaches then it died. Re-rigged a 5.9 and spent half the time slogging. It got better though toward 3pm and by 4pm the gusts were overpowering.

This was my first time at Jordanelle and I was wishing I'd went to Sulfur. It seemed insanely gusty. The bumpy water was fun though.
