Day 71 of the 2016 season: November finally gets some wind - Harsens breaks the streak

November finally gets some wind - 10 days of downtime in the peak fall season finally comes to an end. A cold, chilly, cloudy morning session at Harsens Island turns into a bluebird afternoon session breaking the streak. Keith already on the water when I arrived with both of us on the 9Ms for the morning session then during a lull at noon I rigged up the 11M. Craig came and rigged his 12M and then Jerry with his 12M. Had another 2 hours on the 11M with the 2nd hour lightening up and me switching to my directional board.
An early trip to the slick where conditions were decent nearest the point, some hunters hiding in the weeds spoiled that only fun section of the slick.
Overall decent day with the Patagonia suit working wonders to keep me warm.
