Wednesday, 2/2

Looks like alot of wind forecast for Wednesday, and the rain stops and it clears up and it's fairly warm.

I plan to sail Van Pugh if it blows.

Also, thanks William for taking care of the webpage. I can post again.

Gene - I am planning on sailing tomorrow if the forecast holds. Probably around 1pm as it warms up. Looks like I'll need my 9.5. BA

Dang, the wind was low enough I could blow the leaves off my yard today. Today was a non-event. At least we weren't doing this:

Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I lived for a year near here but never saw this kind of snow.

Re: Wednesday, 2/2

Actually, it was pretty good today. Four of us sailed Van Pugh, I sailed my 6.0, Marcel and Bill A sailed 6.5s and Chris P sailed a 5.8. We had a couple of good hours from around 2:00 to 4:00. It did look kind of iffy to start but filled in nice. It was good to see Marcel again, he'd been AWOL for awhile. Also, Barrett, hurry up and heal that foot and join us.

Next wind may be Saturday, a weekend day, no excuses.
