Email from Bob - 29 July

Yahoo, a very fast and fun night sailing. After a relatively slow/mellow/disappointing day, the breeze filled near dark tonight. The moon has been up until just recently, so we were able to see the waves to surf. Conditions have been just right for a lot of fast surfing with the big kite up, which is a cool way to spend the last full night out. I have no idea if our competitors have had the same great conditions or they've gotten unlucky with squalls, but I guess we'll see in the morning. Have had several instances of minutes-long surfs at >10 knots, which is wild in the dark. No wipeouts, broaches, etc., just smooth fast sailing:-).
