Re: Wednesday 02/28

AM the wind is SW, so better at LLSC (Sailing Club). Then rain & wind increases, gets colder & turns NW in late afternoon, making VanPugh the best launch.

Iā€™m waiting for updated Fx in AM to decide.

Re: Wednesday 02/28

Should be interesting. I missed a chance to go today - there was a light SW breeze mid-afternoon. I won't be available tomorrow but I would be tempted. Just mind the radar.

Re: Wednesday 02/28

I think JB and Barrett are planning for the LLSC this morning. The squall line looks pretty nasty on the radar so, for anyone going, be mindful of the weather and don't overstay your welcome.

Rhett and I foiled lake windward yesterday afternoon - it did get "pretty nasty" - right after we got off the water and into our cars

Richard, glad you & Rhett got out before the squall line passed through. JB & I got out early at the Sailing Club with a strong, but gusty onshore wind. However, I windsurfed out of the bay to the main body of the Lake where the wind was consistently strong for an epic session. We made it back to Atlanta just before the rain hit.

Re: Wednesday 02/28

Great last minute session yesterday, so enjoyable to be gloveless (water is still cold)
Typical up/down wind - had 4M, perfect in the gusts but needed 5.5/8 in gaps

How is the water temperature at Windward?
Foil Drive Gen2 is ready to be tested! (got 2 batteries)
