I probably will go late tomorrow morning. Not sure of the launch yet. If it stays mainy South I will go to Holly or Vanns Tavern. ( unless there is a group of us sailing at VP then I might be persuaded to go there)
I'm in for something. I think I've forgotten how to do this, though. What a weird season. Exposing the wind altar to air to see if I can, in FoilDood's words, "increase the internal tension".
I'm up for windsurfing before the rain, but not sure of the launch. I can head to V.P. and redirect if you pick another launch that's better for wind direction.

Sheesh... it's exposure to SUN and "STOKE the internal tension".
Read the manual, dude or we may forever be plagued by the Demons of the Doldrums (it's in the manual too).
A lot of South... I am going to go check out Holly Park and will check the clubsite before I rig to see if there is a greater consensus on a launch site.

Whitecaps and steady at Holly Park
Going to try and rip this channel wide open in a few
Good day at Holly, sailed the AHD and longboard with 7.5 overpowered at first, just right from 1 -2 pm. Sailed through the warm rain until 4
Tim sailed the Go after lunch with a 5.5
Thanks to Chris, we sailed at LLSC. Ed got out on the water with his 7.5m with the wind SSW and gusty. I rigged my 7.0m and launched soon after as the wind picked hp and became steady. The rain began as a light mist that had the appearance of a dense fog spreading across the Lake. With the air temp. in the mid 60's we kept on sailing through heavy rain squalls. The stronger the rain, the better the wind. When the rain stopped I headed to shore as the Lake went calm. Suddenly the wind reversed direction to the NW, and I headed back out for a second session. William arrived when I came in for a third session.
I got the late LLSC session as Princess was celebrating a birthday today. Not much wind for about 20 minutes and then it kicked in 15-20. I was on my windfoil convert with 49cm fin and 7.0. Trying to get dialed in to new skool board (all 215cm). Once on a plane, the board actually doesn't feel so short. Like most modern 210-230cm boards, there's just enough board and not a bit extra. Goes like a scalded dog - I'm still sorting out the footstraps, though.
Thanks to Barrett for the heads up today. Langdon, sorry I missed you this morning.

It blew today so I did something somewhat semi-correctly. I tried to read the manual once but the words were too big and my lips got tired.

Where to go?
Sunrise?
LLSC?
VP?

Ed and I are heading to the LL Sailing Club. Chris said OK to sail there. Gate code 0676. Trey, What is your phone # ?
