LLSC is pretty good in a SW. It's straight into the beach. There's almost no boat traffic and the water is pretty flat unless it gets to 4.5 conditions. Then the chop gets really confused for some...
When I've tried to sail Sunrise COve on SW when there was wind, it seemed to be coming from all directions. On lite air days i dont think that was such a problem. Gerg B & I sailed there one...
I've never tried getting into Old 41 this time of year, but as low as the water is at Allatoona now, seems like it may not be worth the (considerable) effort.
If you have the time, Sunrise is a much better launch on SW than VP (VP South I think is closed in the winter, anyway). It's a long slog out to the windline on a SW vs sideshore at Sunrise. 2...
Sunday turned out to be a really nice day. Scott and I drove up together and did not know what to expect as the trees and flags weren't very encouraging on the way. We arrived about...
From the weather reports I saw, the wind was blowing out of the North down in Macon. Sailing a north wind at Juliette is equivalent to sailing a south wind from Van Pugh. The wind direction plays...
I rode out to Van Pugh Fri afternoon, but there wasnt anyone out there, it was diffinately blowing. Kristian did call earlier saying he was considering going but didnt want to sail by himself. He...
Momma Fragakis didn't raise no dummy. If you look for me at VP you'll see an empty parking place. I just keep dreaming of Hatteras in June while I have a hot toddy by the fireplace.
Danny I have this plane ticket I must use by July. I can go almost anywhere. Aruba and Bonnire are easier rides but Maui is possible. I have a friend who lives in Maui. Problem is the flight...
Best time to do this is to catch a front. If it is going to be a strong front in Atl. then Fred Howard will probably get the same. If you know the front is coming you can usually get to F/H a...
As of 11:00 AM Monday, 2/10, it looks like its trying to blow. I hope to be on the water around 1:00.

Yep. I am ready. I just want some warm weather, sunny and frontal wind.
The kind words are well-deserved. Thanks for all the work you and others have done over the years.

Chris,
You certainly deserve the iron man or wind warrior award for just making it out.

Late Saturday morning you come cruisin' out to the beach, your sailboard atop your cool green MG. You check out the scene:...
I will give you a call tonight Chris.
Even though it will warmer down there, still too cold for me!

Well that was Friday, now what about Sunday. 10-15 nw with temps in the low 40's. Sounds ideal. I hope to go to Van Pugh.

I haven't decided between there or Maui.
