Loaded. Early start. Flood tide. Wind shadow along the beach early on. Solid wind out over the first bank and beyond. Lots of ramps and wind swell. Wind was steadier than yesterday but it did amp (brief stint on 3.4/74), lulled (put it back) and rebounded. Followed M and did downwinder to Centennial then sailed back up to the boat ramp (fully loaded). More memorable rides than yesterday. Fun.

SlideshowUnfortunately there were also two guys out there today who really need to rethink the position (risk) they are putting others in:
Sailor 1: No look turn into an upwind sliding transition straight into the wave face I was on and then exited into my direction.NOT cool, NOT safe and definitely NOT appreciated!
Everyone should
use shoulder checks - both driving on the road and while sailing.
Sailor 2: Swooping down from two waves above, placing me under their lines and then dropping in on the wave face I was on (so close it felt like I could touch them).NOT cool, NOT safe and definitely NOT appreciated!
You should
never sail your lines over another person.
Stay clear of downwind sailors - they have right-of-way.
