I would like to give it a go Sat, especially if anyone else is up for it? For Sat, 9am to 1pm seem better wind as of now. Probably Vanns but open to other. Anyone up for it?
Sun-Mon is higher winds (gusts too high?) but i am out of town, skiing in UT.
I might go Saturday around lunchtime.
Either launch is ok with me but If no one calls it I will go to Vanns
If the forecast holds, I will aim to be on the water at Vanns y around 11am. Trying to balance temp vs wind, seems wind might be too light after 1-2pm?
Well, either this is a forecast for gusty wind or someone's cat kept jumping up on the table while the computer was cranking out the forecast this morning

...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING...
* WHAT...Northeast winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central,
northeast, northwest, southeast and west central Georgia.
* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.
* IMPACTS...With soils saturated from heavy rains, downed trees
and powerlines will be likely. Widespread power outages are
possible. Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile
vehicles.
100% chance of rain. I'll sit this one out in my basement.
Meanwhile, Seattle is still on the map as far as I can tell and survived the bad weather discussed elsewhere. However, they did have to suffer through the gloomiest day in recorded history. That's quite an achievement considering how gloomy Seattle is in general.
