A few days ago I caught a session with Peconic Jeff and crew...I noticed during an energetic crossing from Robins Island to Mattituck that Jeff seemed to be having trouble staying with the pack. Scott wisely guessed that Jeff was probably running his way-small freestyle fin. I went to confirm this, but learned otherwise. P-Jeff was still recovering from a recent Sunday shredfest (a shredfest your editor missed.) Now it's true that we haven't been doing very much sailing of late, and so our windsurfing muscles may not be in tip-top condition, but still! "Jeff," I said..."you are a gurlyman!"
The next day I found myself unusually sore...a lot of muscles were telling me that I needed to take it easy. Apparently I also suffered from Lack Of Windsurfing Related Atrophy (LOWRA to the orthopaedic community.)
I am a gurlyman.
yah, i had 7 hours of juiced 5.6 conditions yesterday. Today, my legs are mushy too!
epic stuff

I know the feeling and I get lots of that syndrome cos our wind is so erratic. I think you guys a hell of alot more wind than we do. Sometimes we have lulls of around 4-6 weeks and when it is really bad a couple of months. So hardened hands become soft, muscles start to become flabby, you become mentally lazy and unmotivated . And dont say take up another sport cos I am NOT interested to take up another sport!
