Hola Sailors

The forecast was right, last Monday turned out to be an awesome day for some great wave riding in 16-20kn of wind.
The rest of last week the wind stayed light and only a few guys went out on some big stuff 8.0m and bigger, at the same time the beginners had a blast.
Yesterday morning wind was up early and everybody had fun on 5.7-6.5m sails. At about 11.am it started dropping a bit just in time for a lunch break. Mid afternoon it kicked back in for 6m and bigger.
Today we saw the same scenario, wind was up early again for 5.0-5.7m sails, and than backed off right before noon. Now it's 3.30pm and there are some white caps again on the outside , and it looks like we will be back on the water soon. The forecast for the week looks great 18-26 kn through out the whole week which will be perfect for the start of the Master of the ocean event which will take place at Encuentro Beach coming weekend. On Thursday and Friday we will have the qualifiers at Bozo Beach.

See you all soon on Da Reef
