I arrived late in the afternoon on Friday and immediately rigged up to sail away the road dust. There was a light breeze, the water was warm, and any fatigue from the drive quickly washed away.

As I fooled around doing some freestyle I was reminded what a privilege it is to have a windsurfer, to rig up in a matter of minutes and be on the water —presto! Experiencing and interacting with a new locale.
I sailed to shore, pulled my Windsurfer onto the bank and walked a few steps to my campsite, nice.

More people showed up and by Saturday morning registration there was a group of sailors, spouses and kids.
I brought 4 Original Windsurfers and all got used, we had our own fleet.
Winds were light with some nice puffs and wind shifts blowing thru.
Six races were held. Lunch and a BBQ dinner were provided (great food thank you Carl!) and campfire at sunset.
Race results are listed on MOWIND.

It has been 15 years since I realy sailed a longboard. Was thinking Obsolete but that weekend changed my mind , brought some old memories and some to follow. 6 months later my little dude Tino 4and a half now ,still talks about regatta and how he windsurfed with Dad around the course . Priceless !
Thanks!
