Weather was great, wind was fair. First day I arrived was a bit cool, upper 50's but then the wind turned towards the south and we had 70s-80 most of the week. Most guys were in shorties, us Northerner's sailed in shorts! Campground was full for the days around Thanksgiving.

I sailed 5 out of the 7 days I was there, one of our days off ended up being a good afternoon for wind, but we had run into town to tour the USS Lexington aircraft carrier. Most of the days were mid-teens for wind. A lot of 7.5-9.5 action. I think there were some real strong winds shortly before I arrived and after I left. I had an awesome session the last day I sailed on the 148L Techno with my 8.5 I bet we were on the water for 5 hours that day. It was the cleanest and fullest wind of the week I was there.

I'm hooked and definitely going back, maybe as soon as March over spring break.
