This week June 20 on

Hints of some light wind action from the various forecasts. Will require either big, long or foilish stuff just below the dot threshold. But, I'm desperate.

Re: This week June 20 on

You just have to go the right body of water. PDK is showing dots both tomorrow and Thursday. Now - what body of water is closest to PDK? (Aside from the Dekalb Country Water Dept. lakes which don't seem to be open to the public)? Warning - it is not a foil friendly environment.

Re: This week June 20 on

Randy, I'm a little disappointed in you, the great explorer that you are. Why, Murphey Candler Park is just a couple miles away. Lol

But, you are correct, probably not foil friendly as there are the occasional submerged cars: https://brookhavenpost.co/2017/03/05/car-drives-in-to-murphey-candler-lake-in-brookhaven/

I think you can paddle board there so... sky's the limit?

Re: This week June 20 on

I checked that place out years, probably decades ago. Too much tree blight surrounding the lake. I couldn't help but notice it driving kids to soccer back in ancient times.

Randy comes through, again. Yes 3

Chances are low, however, that I'm adding Murphey Candler to the wiki...

In my years of soccer parentage, I always found that the further the game was and the worse the team did, the better the chances for wind.

Well, you can always add Victoria on Toona to the wiki, in case there are any future gas leaks on Kellog Creek Road.

Re: This week June 20 on

I will be out of town...so that will increase the likelyhood of there being wind on Lanier

*** Forecast for wind is increasing in Pensacola for the NIMBY (6/ 22-24 ) Hopefully my arrival down there will not kill the wind.
If y'all get bored in Hotlanta come on down

Thanks. It is fun to try new places, even if that isn't what I intended.

Looks like a good forecast for summer in Atlanta: NW 10-15. Count me in this afternoon at Van Pugh.

Any day that you consider coming in and rigging down - and the temperature is above 75 - is a win. Biggrin

Tailed off so I skeddadled and met AWD_Tig but looks like it freshened up as I was heading off.

Edit: I really, really want to go again.

It was up & down after you left. I made the mistake of taking a looong ride down to where the Wednesday night racers were congregating, then having a looong schlog back. Shok

We had a fun afternoon at the Lake. For over an hour I was on a near-constant plane with my 8.5m sail & JP Super Lightwind Board.

Nice pic, Barrett. Looks like I need to crank some miles on the bike, though. That rash guard is not flattering on me. Shok

Rode 45 minutes on the Silver Comet. Stopped and got a cheeseburger, fries and shake on the way home. Am I doing this right? Biggrin
