Old Fed 10:40 almost live report - Pat Parks reports plenty of parking and wind, thinks he will rig 7.5 and his Techno. I plan to be there before noon.
We‘re flying home from Erie, PA today. I had a short session sailing a 7.5m during s rain storm. A group of 8 windsurfers was gathered at the Bay when word spread radar showed rain showers approaching. It was my only chance to sail, so I head out as the wind picked up & rain fell, just as everyone left in a rush. It was a good session, just a bit messy packing up wet.
It was ok at VP. I had few runs on Nova with 9.0 m sail. Boat chop wasn't fun. I hoped to sail the storm, but it had some high voltage in it, so I opted out. Could be +1

I can go tomorrow afternoon
Old Fed or anywhere you wish.
Old Fed works for me.

On my way to OF
OK I am on my way too.
"How was it" was going to be my question, then saw this. So sad.

Someday, I'm going to go up to Van Pugh and pour out a case of malt liquor, can by can, for all the people we've lost in our own playground.

Just saw a video grab taken just before the Branson duck boat tragedy. I can't imagine any pleasure craft not designed for open ocean conditions being out in that. Plus, the canopy apparently prevented them even escaping the thing.
