Day 20 of the 2014 season: Cass Lake swap and Windsurfing


The Cass Lake swap was great, add a little wind to make it excellent.
Sailed the 5.5 on 100 liters for an hour and a half on Cass Lake.
Marysville type of wind conditions with Pamlico Sound flat water conditions. Was able to do hero jibes on both shores with the shallow flat water, reminiscing of Marysville.
Good to see all the windsurfing folks. And joined in with a few locals of Cass Lake and Brian and Jennie for a fun WS session.



Highlight of the day:  Hero Jibes on the inside flat water
TOW:   1.5 hour
Gear: 5.5, 100 liter
Conditions:  Gusty winds in the middle with flat water on each shore
Weather:  Sunny 70s, water 50s
Wind:   W to NW to 30 MPH
Schooled:  was able to review all of my tricks, light and high winds
