I'm aging, my body is sore from yesterday. The day started a bit slow with a lot of back and forth thinking driving south on 101, Da Stick? Oyster? Coyote? Coyote was chosen. A first for me. Winds were in the 19-21 when we launched on the 100 to 90 liter boards, sails from 5.8 to 4.7, then the wind and cazy swell/chop picked up bringing out the small boards and sails. I was owerpowered in my 4.7 so I don't know how Kevin held up on a 5.0 for a while and Sofy on the 4.7 being a lighter sailor. My 85 liter board felt too big in the swell, I should have taken out the 77 liter but didn't want to lose more time. Team Dawg and the Berkeley crew were on the water, Meredith, Surfer John, Dolmand, Isabelle, Juan, Kevin, Sofy, Mark P. and myself. Damis sailed Da Stick. I hope Meredith found a spare key to her car, she lost the key around her neck in the water.
