Family day on the Bay!

The weather report predicted a perfect bay day. Southwest winds 15-20 knots, hot and sunny.

After a late lunch, I packed 4 boards, 6 sails and enough booms and masts to rig almost everything into the boats.

Phillip and I headed out first and he tried the 6.2 on the Techno. Not quite enough so I rigged the 7.0 for him and he was flying.

Then the girls arrived and Jen went out on the 6.2 on the Freewave 116. Katie tried the 4.7 on the Young Gun which Phillip helped her launch. (Geoffrey wouldn't likely have been sailing even if he wasn't away at a concert weekend.)

Jen came back after a quick uphaul and slog and wasn't feeling enough wind or board to get going. So I jumped on the 6.2 and Freewave and sailed out to Katie. After a few good runs she was tired and needed a lift back upwind. Mom to the rescue with the boat!

Phillip just kept blasting back and forth on the Techno - I wish I'd had a GPS for him! Luckily I got some great gopro clewmount footage.

Jen tried a few board/sail combos but as the wind lightened it just wasn't fun. I got a few good runs on the 6.2 and Skate 108 and really can't decide if I like it or the Freewave 116 more. After that the wind started shifting west and dropping off so the day was done.

Family day!
