So, how was it? I had a sesh at Chapin Beach, survival sailing in 30 to 40 knots. Wild! Then later, I stood on the porch of the Woods Hole Yacht club and witnessed hurricane conditions.... Shit, nature can be pretty intense.

Sergey, Jeremiah Malina, and I wavesailed 2nd Beach in Newport. IT WAS GOING OFF! Off-shore 3.7m conditions gusty as hell wind (0 to 50 in 2 secs), biiig swell. Reaallly tough conditions. 1st Beach was amazing...should have gone out there.

Today there was still greeatt surf.

I hope you got some mad sailing in. On Long Island people on the east end got blown right off the water...mid island I caught some 4.0 sailing (too bad I rigged a 4.5!)

It's good to discover your blog. Check out my blog of Long Island windsurfing when you get a chance.

Pray for wind!
