Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheringham and Race are going off now!!!!! West 30-40 with peak winds close to 50 knots in the last hour. Pressures are rising solidly now West and Central Strait. Just waiting now for Smith a Island to turn Westerly. If a Race Rocks is blowing 40 knots I think the Whidbey TAF is about six hours slow on the wind shift.
Just at the old toll booth now.........
Cheers,
Chris
Weekend Wind?

Running about 30 minutes late. At Pac X-ing now. Sign says 30 min and I'm far back, but moving fairly well. Left lane moving faster than right (so far). Sign said 60 min at Peach Arch.
