Friday 9/16 Dawn Patrol?

Windmapper is getting encouraging.

fyi for those not familiar is that east winds on clear days tend to fade around 12 -1 pm. Prime time seems to be 9-11 am.

I might go to Tidwell or map.

Until then. Best watched full screen. Turn up the music not because you are a Coldplay fan but to drown the sounds of your sobs from the realization that you'll have to sail on Lanier for the next eight months. Cray 2

Hope to sail Friday at Van Pugh if the current forecast of NE wind holds.

I enjoyed the video of windsurfing in New Caledonia. What a spectacular, but remote part of the world. My Uncle landed there after 21 days on a troop ship, zig-zagging across the Pacific to avoid Japanese submarines.

It looks like the low has moved offshore, so now there's no wind forecast for Friday. Guys, how was it on Wed?

It was good at Van Pugh. There was even a few whitecaps.

I am really enjoying the 7.5 Ezzy that Gene sold me.

I also got to briefly sail alongside what I think was a Corsair trimaran... Beautiful sailboat

The sailboat looked like this...

I did go to MAP today and sailed 8.2/1.45 litre (as opposed to planed) about 1.5 hours. I did actually get planing some in a few rogue gusts with some massive pumping. It was a good workout. Also flew some kites I have been working on as the winds were enough for that. Here is my most recent project, which I modified to from another design. (This was actually shot a few days ago.)
