Bill, go visit BirdIslandBasin in Corpus this fall.....

I just had my perfect session today at Candlestick pt.

(Like Glenn) 80l, 5.3 ...winds 17-25 nice powerful wind air mid to
low 60's lots a sun water maybe 55 (guess) nice an comfortably powered
and good gusts to go screamin through small holes. Enough chop maybe
1-1.5ft for some full tilt 30ft airs (distance not height) and nothing
broke.................then is get interesting.

While on shore about to de rig, it picks back up slow at first then the
gates of hell open and it unleashes lulls of 20 gusts to 35 and
sustained 25mph. Survival sailing at it's best, insane speed (don't
get too comfy Finian) and then you bury the nose at 22kts coming down
off some chop...ok, I can take a hint. Time to call it a day and be
glad I still have all joints an ligaments intact.

Oh yeah, and cooooold beers in tha fridge waiting at home
