“I said we should have gone to Meschutt. But we’re following Jonathan!”
And Jonathan wanted to sail Sebonac Inlet.
Fight! Fight!
I’m just kidding. The wind was honking and the sailing good from Sebonac, but in what turned out to be a NW blow (as opposed to the usual WNW or W that is the classic Sebonac call) the best sections for sailing and jumping and waveplay were to the west instead of the east. Towards Meschutt. Fortunately there was loads of wind so getting to where you wanted to be was no problem. Me on a 4.0, Lord Scotworth lit on his 3.7 ("I’m struggling to keep downwind") and so on (Jon Ford somehow holding down a 4.7 while Bill reinforced his withered 4.2 with duct tape.) Good starboard jumping when you were comfortable, which I often wasn’t…in the biggest gusts I was sailing sheeted completely out…the boom at right angles to the board, planning away on 77 liters. That’s a gust my friend!
In attendance besides Scott, Jon, and Bill: Frank, Jake, Jason, Jeff, and my plumber Bill. Bill didn’t rig (or plumb) he just watched for awhile.
(Don't know where Sebonac Inlet and Meschutt Park are? There is a map...the Long Island Windsurfing Map.)
