Second sailing day for my new Cross II 84 liter. Temperatures were moderate (55 deg F) and the wind was gusty, with the best runs coming between 1300 and 1500. Sailed with Fred, Tom, Sandy, Nick, Craig, Paul, Mike, and Matt. Big dredging barge was upwind of our normal site, I sailed on both sides of it and got some excellent speed runs when going off the wind. This board handles the chop very nicely, first used it with my 6.0 but of course the 5.0 gave the best speeds.
