It was nice to get out there after a recent lull period. Sadly, I timed it for a 3/10 session at Willows. I was intimidated by the looks of east side of Clover, so I headed to Willows to meet up with Greg, Dan, and GMan. Initially it felt like 4m winds and we all pumped up accordingly. As usual I was last in and watching the long slog Greg and Danno were doing made me wait even longer. Danno kept heading out further, but Greg came in to switch to 5m. Danno used his superior skills to get out further to the wind line and fly his 4m. I followed Greg's lead with a 5m and was able to get some highly worked (lots of pumping) runs in the onshore winds. Only got a few foiling gybes in. Winds were reducing, so we all came in to get bigger wings. That failed horribly as the winds died and we all drifted back in. Good company, nice sun, mediocre conditions.
