    Step 3 in gybevoidance rehab is to follow the wisdom of the elders -- in this case Tweezer! The trade winds were replaced by light Kona winds last week, and I remembered that the same thing happened to Tweezer last year. A few texts with the man himself, some studying up on his GPS tracks, and talking with the super friendly local crew gave me the confidence to navigate the long and winding narrow channel off the launch beach and out into the bay with multiple reefs and sandbars. I had to make a whole lot of gybe attempts because of the relatively small area that had enough depth to foil in, and I was too scared to go beyond the reef. Thanks Tweez!!!
