Anne and I have been hanging out up at Island Creek with a big batch of Jersey kids who are all amped up on windsurfing! There are a handful of experienced sailors and quite a few newBs, so I'm gonna see how far I can get them this week. This weather setup is perfect for progression, since it's basically like the windsurfing equivalent of that Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day. Moderate winds every morning, gradually building through the afternoon until you're lit up on a 4.5 or 5.0, from the same direction every day... I have no doubt that a few of the newBs will be in the harness and straps ripping by the end of the week! Sweeeeet!
Here are a few pics I took during last night's sunset sesh:
I had a friend on the hood of my truck
He wasn't too keen on the photoshoot, and a millisecond after this shot he leapt at the camera and ferociously attacked me. I'm not gonna lie, I shrieked like a baby! Now I know how the paparazzi feel...
Skip, litsky on a 5.5!
Skip, jibe entry
Anne, 4.7/75 combo
Happy happy!
oooh...
Ahhh... These last two files are big, if you want 'em as a desktop.Should be a great end to the week down here... Might be a good time to take that long weekend you've been thinking about... There's even talk of holding another Summer Edition of the Hatteras Wave Jam...

Andy, i'm learning this year that the Bermuda High also affects me up here on the Delmarva. Assategue has been firing as of late, and is forecast to go off again this weekend, but not nearly as good as you guys have been scoring.
Thank you Andy, Anne and Stewart for making this the best windsurfing vacation ever. You really helped step up every ones game and the winds have been unreal all week long! We really enjoyed watching your morning and sunset sessions as well. You guys take it to a new level and demonstrate why windsurfing rules.
Thanks again from the Island Creek Jersey Crew. See you next summer!
cool pix of the ET look alike creature on the hood of the truck! :-)
