Peconic Puffin: The Flattest Water You've Ever Seen

Scott is overpowered on a 5.7 (Jeff and the Wolf were on 5.2’s) this day at the flattest spot I’ve ever sailed: the north sand bar of Robins Island. When the wind is just right (SSW I think…one of the guys will comment to correct me if I’m wrong) you can buzz alongside the sand bar on a broad reach at crazy speeds (it’s like sailing on a pool table) and then crank the G’s with a hero jibe at the end of the run. It’s not a bad place to freestyle, either.

I missed this day, but I’m enjoying the memories of other jibefests at the sand bar.

I am very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
