Milner Beach Surprise

Milner Beach Surprise

Day 16 for the 2013 season - Milner Beach 6-29-2013 Saturday.

A somewhat of a surprise evening session - forecast called for winds to pickup from the NE although to lite to even consider windsurfing. As I monitored the winds at 4 pm it was 10-12 mph, by 4:30 it was 15+ and white capping out of the NE.
Quickly decided to rig the 6.0 with the 100 liter board and by the time I got on the water it picked up a notch so the 6.0 was perfect. A quick 2 hour session with steady 15-20 mph winds from the N-ENE, seemed to swapping around a bit. (Actually the 5.5 would have been perfect since it is a lighter more maneuverable sail).
Good fun Larry joined in the raucous a short time later.
These Milner Beach surprises happen often, luckily for me and other SCS sailors we are nearby so we could rig and sail in a moments notice
