Date: Saturday July 14, 2012
Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Palo Alto Baylands
Cost: $57 includes Togo's sandwich.
Organized by Jack Ollila
11:00AM to 1:30PM: Land lecture and demonstrations
1:30PM to 2:30PM: Lunch, Q&A
2:30PM to 3:30PM: Ponder what to rig in light wind and low tide... Most rigged 5's and 6's on big boards with small fins.
3:30PM to 6:00PM: Sail with Wyatt giving tips in the waist deep water above the second pole.
6:00PM to 7:00PM+: Derig, hose off mud and cocktails.
A lot of slogging with the lulls. I sailed my 6.5m^2 Sailworks Retro on my 145L Mistral Explosion board with a 33cm freestyle fin but would have been much happier with my 7.5m^2 Retro and 53cm race fin. Of course, with a 2.9 ft tide, the long fin was out of the question.
It was pretty amazing to see Wyatt slog upwind out the tiny channel between the mud banks on a board that just barely floated him while I was doing our famous channel walk. He gave me some tips on what he was doing while slogging past me to try my next time.
