Duckburn's Mississinewa Report
I called all of the rest of the Kokomo gang and let them know they
needed to be windsurfing yesterday. I was the only person at the
reservoir at 12:00 noon. I rigged a 5.0 and hit the water. The wind
direction was perfect for the Missy. Sailing over powered on the
5.0 really helps on the jumping. This was probably the best bump and
jump secession I have had on the Missy. I was consistently finding 3
to 4 nice ramp with each ½ mile reach. By 2:00 pm the wind had
really picked up and I was reading a wind speed average of 32 mph on
the water. Not wanting to de-rig, I decided it was a good time for a
brake. I went ahead and sailed the 5.0 for the rest of the day not
because it was comfortable but because of the jumping. I worked nose
first down wind landing. Joe finally arrived by 4:00 pm and got a
solid hour of sailing in before the wind starting to get a little
fluckie. By 5:30 or so the shut down had began and I called it a
day. Joe made a few more runs before being stuck down wind and
facing exiting the water though the tree line.
Except for the dead scrub tree surrounding Mississenewa's shore line,
it is nice having access to water within 20 minutes of home.
Overall a great day,
If you were not at the Missy you missed out!!
