Downwinder Anyone?
 
If the wind cooperates today, is anyone interested in a downwinder from south skyway to bahia beach?
it is about 15 miles and makes the Planet of the Apes run pale in comparison.
Really an awesome journey with a lot of little islands and sand bars in between.
We need ideally W-SW around 15 kts or so, should happen........

how much you guys think it was blowing down there?

BigR 05-11-2008 06:46 PM

S skyway is sideoffshore on SW so windshadow until you get 300+ yards offshore

Then fully powered on 12-13m's except lill'l on the 9m

Finally really super powered up by the end, I was soo tired
