The Slog...Roosevelt was the call,
Thought we'd all have a ball.
Mike's forcast sounded really good,
but on the water they all stood.
Ted didn't want to slog,
So he worked on his blog.
The wind was four two,
When, and if, it blew.
They all sat under a tree,
waiting till the clock turned three,
Or until the wind filled in,
so they could all sail with a grin!!

The morning started off with coffee at the Dog River Coffee Shop as usual.
Here is Moritz with the perfect Latte....
The forecast was great!! Roosevelt was the call. But the clouds didn't clear....
We all rigged small. The wind was up - then calm - then up - then calm.
Kent probably had the best day. He is a very efficient sailor -- had some great wave rides and seems impervious to the lull's.....
The last hour was the best - from 6:00 to 7:00.
Everyone was out - big wave rides.
Moritz is my hero. He was out all day practicing his water starts. He hooked in a few times, and was planning a few times.
Brad did the move of the day. After an afternoon snooze, he woke to find that the wind had picked up. He grabbed his gear and headed out....
The wind was slightly off shore all day, which means there is a big wind shadow in front of the beach.
Brad slogged out past the wind shadow and finally got to the wind line, only to realize that he had forgotten his harness on the beach.....
He slogged all the way back to the beach to get his harness - and then all the way from the beach back out to the windline....
I sailed my 4.8 Hucker and Free xxx board. Well powered in the gust - slogging or worse in the lulls. Overall a pretty good day!!
It was dark by the time we got back to the house - then pizza at the Double Mountain Brewery and tap house, then some windsurf and biking videos......
