Fred Howard Park Report

What a welcoming gift. Yesterday I sailed 5.7 and 115L & 90L all day. Chris P. was there also sailing his 4.7 and 5.4. Temp was in the upper 50's and water was pretty warm. We had 20k of wind, with some wholes in it. AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Update, forecast for today is 10-15 here at St. Pete but 15-20 and gusty for Merritt Island. I'm heading east to Calema.

Calema Report

Sailed 5.7 & 6.6 all day in gusty NE 20-25mph. Tomorrows forecast is for 15-20k and through Monday. Looks good, and it will change to east so won't be so gusty. BTY, I was in my shorty>

Danny, or whoever,

Is the camping OK there at Fred Howard? I may spend Monday night there in a tent, so if you or anyone else plans on being there Mon night/Tues,Wednesday, give me a holler.

Howard Park closes at sunset every evening. Cops make sure everyone is out.

I have plans for the first of the week in St. Pete, but I'd like to stay not far from the good sailing. Where do you stay when sailing Fred Howard?

I just booked the Ramada in north St. Pete for tonight, and I'll be sailing out of there; it's not as close to the sailing, but it's close to the event I'm attending to the south of there. I'm planning on heading to Calema on Thursday, so I hope to see you there.
