Epic Week Everywhere - A Collection of the Action

Wow...what a week across the country. Heavy Heavy surf in Hawaii and big wind on the east coast (and crazy snow in the midwest/northeast).

Some of the local crew, Alan and Donald, made it down to Fort Fisher for some wavesailing. I got out late on the lake on Wednesday before sunset...lots of folks out but were packing it up when I got there. It was gustier than usual on the lake. I was on a 4.6 but struggling to get dialed in since it was either 15 or 35mph and not much in between. Here's a little ditty...

Nice writeup. Now I have a few movies to check out during the non sailing "really" cold days, this winter.
