Carl was right, I was about to show at DC, but following the variant rule, "don't drive by wind to find wind", I was on Jordanelle at 3:45 fully wound on my 6.7. Planing 90% of the timewith plenty of white-knuckled periods. All alone, a couple of boats in the distance. One jet ski and a few seagulls. Sorry I wasn't able to join the gang at DC, but maybe next time!
It backed off around 5:00 and my 7.5 wouldn't get me going after that. The local watersports shop guy said it started around 2:00 for what that's worth (maybe not much, since Heber airport was only 2 out off the West at 2:00). By the way, the new number for J-Bay park is: 435-649-9148. Anyway, with the clear skies the wind was really quite steady for J-bay. Sadly though, the snack bar that featured the Jamaican jerk chicken, fried bananas and Red Stripe Beer has closed for the season. Rumor has it that they've an operation in Park City, but that will need some research. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE -- As I drove back to the on-ramp to the highway right after exiting the J-Bay state park, I noticed a sign that said "Floyd's - margueritas $3.00". What was this? 5 minutes later, I was sitting in the sun on Floyd's patio at the whatever Lodge that is just on your right as you exit the park, enjoying a righteous blended marguerita made with Blue Curacao. Fine way to end the day!
