Retro Day

Light SW winds blowing today. No chance of any windsurfing. That's what I thought, until Gary arrived around noon, with a 20 year old Mistral Malibu, complete with the original sail. The board had been gathering dust at his brother's farm for years. We rigged it up and took it for a spin. The board was very tippy and the sail was not much better. With equipment like that, I'm not surprised that so many people who tried windsurfing, gave it up after the first time. Anyway, we had fun, took a couple of pics, and probably wouldn't have been in the water with a regular board...
