Monday 5/21/2012, Blue Lagoon,
Got the call from Captain Bastard at 5:30, it looks like an after work, after dinner session is to be had.
Threw the minimum gear in the van 6.0, 5.5, 100 and 85 liter boards. Rigged and got on the water by 7:00 with the 5.5 and 100 liter RRD.
Three in a row and that's rarity for me in Michigan.
The cold front passed and brought cooler weather and an el norte wind to the Lagoon.
Conditions were on-shore winds to 25 mph with voodoo chop in and out. Eventually the wind clocked more east and the inside improved to the best almost down the line riding I've ever seen at this spot.
A 2 hour session, mostly perfectly powered with the intermittent lulls as expected from this spot.
Sailed through a bright red sunset seen below the clouds at the horizon.
About 6 kiters including Craig with Larry and Harry representing the day crew.
Sailed 2 hours from 7:00 - 9:00.
Gear: 5.5 Ezzy SE and 101 liter RRD FSW.

Gear: 5.5 Ezzy SE and 101 liter RRD FSW.
Conditions: Swapping N to NNW to NE onshore winds some voodoo chop at the beginning of the session. Then for some reason the confused chop got organized and the last 45 minutes were as close to down the line sailing as you can get.
Weather: Air mid-60s, cloudy sky, water mid-60s.
Wind: Mostly a few degrees either side of North, 5-25 mph estimated.
Schooled: Just plan old blasting along and down the line swell riding on the inside.
