Friday and Saturday

Friday's rain forecast is diminishing.
I may go to Vanns Tavern around 2 pm or so if forecast holds.
Saturday is looking ok as well.

I do not think it will blow as hard as forecasted

Re: Friday and Saturday

I think Friday is a good day for being in a root cellar. Saturday looks a bit more sane

".DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

Showers and thunderstorms are expected across North and Central
Georgia on Friday along a cold front. Widespread thunderstorms may
become strong to severe, with the primary threats being damaging
winds and an isolated tornado or two.
"

The heavier rain is today but the set up for tomorrow is kind of nasty. Strong southern winds before a cold front. That makes things twisty and turny. NWS is calling for 10-15 with gusts to 25 on Saturday.

There still may be sailable winds tomorrow but a healthy respect and regard for weather radar is probably a good idea.

Re: Friday and Saturday

btw, according to the Gainesville Times, Lanier has warmed up to April levels with temps in the upper 50s to 60 in spots.

Then they layed down this pearl of wisdom: If an area looks dead and you aren’t seeing any fish, then don’t hesitate to move on to more productive water. Biggrin

Haizer and I are planning to go to Galts this afternoon, despite a less than compelling forecast. Could be "no fly zone" so we are both bringing foil alternatives......

Re: Friday and Saturday

Al, Howard, Rhett& I joined JP & Langdon at Vanns in the AM. The sailors who got on the water before 11AM got the best wind. By Noon it was calm. The water’s warmed to 55F.
