Has anyone tried somebody thinner precurved mittens? I think these are like the discontinued DaKine 2mm mittens. Kokatat Inferno Mitt Neoprene Kayak Gloves?
There are low tech solutions that perhaps the LLSC would be willing to undertake with us (meaning we pay for it.) There is a flag pole directly in front of the web cam, but it either has no flag...
Not the first I’ve been skunked and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
I’m just thankful me and my boat made it through the storms last night, I’m pretty sure a boat or tree close to me got...
If it had the range, island 16 (or the remnants of it) has a good fetch for most directions or the nearby island where it’d have to be up on a mast. No doubt there’d be a six month + review by the...
Al and I used to launch from Keith Bridge Park on the North side of the lake from time to time. SW and WSW is the preferred direction there. It can be a hike through the woods to get to the...
So I just talked to the management at Aqualand (I keep my boat there) and pitched the idea of us installing a wind meter. They said it sounds possible, but they have a lot of renovations going on...
Not many good launches on a WSW that is not either shadowed or rocky. (Obviously)
The first fishing pier is the best spot so far and has some wind exposure even on a WSW ( maybe wrapping...
Live report West Bank at 1:45 .
Definitely more wind than OF WSW guessing around 10
Trying to find a place to launcwh from without too many rocks / shadowed.
Maybe someplace at Aqualand marina? They had/have some kind of maintenance shed on that peninsula that juts out to the west (our common landing spot to add more down haul) or on their gas or...
I recall trying various heavy duty gloves like the ones listed in the o.p. Didn't use them for long - i think they too stiff and once your hands get wet it doesn't make much difference. Open...
Fleece lined is a deal breaker for me and a lot of pole dancers. We need the friction of our hands to hold on to the boom. That's why we use perfectly good mittens with the palms cut out....
While we are on gloves.

You definitely "wore the dress better."...
I'm pretty sure they stole my Bandaid® idea. It's not right...

Whatever frustration you all had, better day than this boat owner. Today, at Bald Ridge Marina
...I was not surprised about how today came out but I was disappointed.
Somebody asking $450 for the same board

While this may not be an ideal location, this USGS gage station appears to be on the lake side of the dam, and it records wind speed & direction:

Left van Pugh at 1:15 no wind to speak of there ether.
Blue sky? Overcast down in the big city....
Live report at 1 pm at OF
SSW Sub 10 mph (probably sub 7) no gusts, sailboats in the channel are not giving me much hope here

Well the one at Gainesville airport isn’t matching what’s happening at VP right now...

@VP now, Not much wind yet but nice, Sunny and warm.
