I am going to try to go Thursday at lunchtime.
Air temp will be ~70, water temp is still being disrespectful
Launch ? SSW
SSW - This might be one of those times when Keith's Bridge (the west side) goes off while everything else (Old Fed, Sunrise, Vann's) is domed out. It is a bit of pain to get out of the cove - a longboard helps. My friend Al (who found this place) carries his shortboard and rig through the woods to get to a launch. Water is now high so things may have changed. I haven't been there in quite some time.
I also had some good times at Tidwell on a deep SSW - but you have to sail quite a ways to get into the channel. MAP could work, but it needs to be quite close to due South. Little Ridge could be better than MAP.

And so it goes. Gilmer is reporting 15-20 and the LLSC isn't showing a whitecap. I was thinking of sneaking up today but too much to do. This makes me feel better
Tomorrow is gonna be amazing. Sun comes out after noon, vertical mixing brings wind down to punch through the dome– voila ! Epic day!
Just have to hang on 'til tomorrow... it's only a day away!

Dome effect likely. Expect gusty winds. This is one time that fetch is not our friend.
Dome effect...
Can we use a smaller area of the lake?
My flights are still short, Gene and I stayed in about a 200 yard area while we were at Fred Howard.
A large pond would almost do for us to practice,
Maybe someone has a large outdoor heated pool?

Ultimate low fetch on southerly: West Bank.
Downside is if anything breaks, next stop is...
The Dome Effect seems to be in effect. If it remains, I’ll probably just hang out at my ... domicile. I've been watching it like this:
Friday looks a bit cooler but still okay and NW.
I'll bring my mountain bike just in case if I head up Thursday.
No domes on Chicopee.

For the uninitiated: Dome Effect
Foildood's pic is going to be added to the wiki
There is always Holly Park on the North Side of Gainesville.
I am also looking at Randy's suggestion of Keith Bridge
Maybe we can live lake reports from Wednesday wind. Thursday should be about the same but stronger
If the forecast for NW wind holds, I plan to sail at Van Pugh Friday afternoon.

Danged dome.
Okay so I'm bailing on Thursday but plan on going Friday.

I am going along with the optimistic viewpoint of Foildude.
I sure do not want to be at the factory on a 75+ day in February.
Thursday location?
VP, West Bank, somewhere else?
somewhere else.
I'm out, I can't make it. It will be epic.

Ahem... Gents? Ladies? Drop a comment. I'm getting in the car in about an hour after I pretend to be useful around here.
Sent you a PM
Chris, bring your thermal mixer
Patience, grasshopper.
