Later this week Nov 9 -11

Looks like some more seasonally typical weather later this week. I'd love a clean westerly at VP in the high teens or twenties.

Make sure you vote first. (Unless you are voting for my candidate's opponent. Biggrin )

If the wind blows, I plan on being at Van Pugh on Wed.

I bet they call it "Winter Storm Trainwreck" and have Jim Cantori wearing a slicker while standing outside a polling station in Philly.

I think they shoot all those hurricane/winter storm scenes in a big studio anyway. Would be no problem to put in a couple of snow covered voting machines being thrown around by gale force winds. (Kind of like that phony moon landing the government did back in 60's.)

He does throw a good punch. Maybe I'd better stick with the earth being flat. Columbus ain't throwing many punches these days.

If you can just hang on, the valium effect will kick in after you windsurf. Trust me on this.

Re: Later this week Nov 9 -11

Wicked good day, especially for this time of year. W/NW wind 10-20. Sail sizes 5.8 to 8.5. Pretty steady breezes, reasonable chop (nil boat traffic) and still warm air and water. Only sketchy part was the smoke from N. GA fires occasionally getting blown our way. Langdon, CV, Crispy, Mr. B, Ed and Jowell also in attendance.

Foilman continues to hone his skills. He was also nice enough to share his crack pipe with me and let me go for a few runs. Dang those things are fun.

What - valium not strong enough for you?

I think you were talking about another other guy. Heard he stayed in his bedroom, shades down, under a blanket in a fetal position. Biggrin
