Ferry terminal was gusting 0 to 30 but I still managed to have some fun winging. I might even claim I was actually riding the big swells coming in.

I made the mistake of waiting for the strongest wind knowing that it would be cold so most likely a short session. Arrived just before 12 to hear that the wind had just shifted east and dropped. Went out on my 9m hoping it would come back but it didn’t. As the wind dropped we came in and it started snowing and that was the end of it.
This was Tsawwassen at 2:00.

That was a fun day, enjoyed by Alton and I! Good wind, nice and sunny but a tad bit cold!

Sorry to hear about that session Michael. Great report though! Every now and then we have to set a new “bottom bar” for our sessions.
I have to admit that I MUCH prefer sailing in 25C to 25F. I must be getting soft with age.

You've got the right idea, I'm definitely getting soft as well. Hoping to get away next winter!
