Yee...haaa! indeed! Windsurfing Enthusiasts of Tidewater (WET) sailed 5 races
today at Day's Inn venue at Willoughby and what a blast it was--y'all are
probably the only people who can appreciate it fully. So powered up the whole
time it was surreal--beating upwind against the rollers saw my board jumping the
steepest rollers, then screaming on the reaches probably hitting 25kts with 90%
of the board out of the water! We've got more races tomorrow, but I doubt the
wind will match today's levels. I hope I can sail with y'all next Saturday....
Regards,
John Perry
