Unexpected Session - Th 2/9/2006

Although it wasn't on the "radar screen" the winds kicked up here around 1:45 yesterday. I sat in the office fretting as the tall pines outside swang to and fro. Painful. Finally got out about 4pm.

Here's the wind stats:
4:20 - High of 29mph, Avg of 14.1 from N
4:40 - High of 29mph, Avg of 13.0 from N
5:00 - High of 29mph, Avg of 13.1 from NE
5:20 - High of 29mph, Avg of 12.8 from NE

Concentrated on duck jibes this time. Only made two consecutive - but did so about seven times! Mostly alternated clew first jibe runs with attempts at duck jibe runs. Also tried some duck tacks for the first time. NO success - yet!
