Hatteras has been the best so far this year. Three huge days so far and more to come!!  More to follow soon.
Right now my fingers are to sore to type.

Hey Don,

Good on you.  Have a blast down there, but don't take all the wind.  We'll be there in 1.5 weeks.

I was at Cass on Sunday. There were ~10 people that came through. Wind was soft early.. despite the iwindsurf.com forecast for 14mph+ it was ~10mph maybe.. I had a 9.5 retro that I bought used.. it was really nice with the adjustable outhaul.. I was digging it... getting some solid speed. It picked up a lot later in the afternoon and was 20+ mph at around 4-5pm. The 9.5 was getting unruly and I was on my 4th hour on the water.. so I came in.

Water temp was low 40's, but most of the day was nice and light so I didn't fall much.

I went out to Cass Monday too, but was the only one there. I took a 7.6 cammed sail and it was ~23mph gusting to 33 or 36. Had a couple airborne moments and some solid speed/tail walks. Fun stuff..

I will be at Cass on friday most likely.. see you there.
Yikes a 7.6 in 23, gusting to 33!   You must have increased your sleeve length and inch or two!
Ha.. When I see a big gust coming and I'm already powered up.. I am not going to lie.. I sort of cringe, but I sort of love it too.. except when it feels like you are hitting a wall coming out of it.

7.6 is the smallest I have though... and it got me coast to coast once.. Cass just has those lull spots.

Where do you sail? Come to Cass friday! Will be cold.. but good wind.
I sail all over, including Cass.  Don't know if I can make it or not.  Depends what time I get out of work.  Headed to Hatteras too next week, so cramming to get stuff done before I go.  I'll definitely catch up with you someday.
