That is wind, the water isn't toxic at Spanish banks, those are after school hours and I'm there for sailing practice so I can just bring my kite gear :D This just gets better and better! :D

It is a bit of an odd forecast but is showing on various forecasts. If it doesn't show up too late I'll consider Spanish banks, Acadia or ferry terminal.

My chicken loop is already set for 5.2, so that's what it'll be.

It's an early birthday present. Thank you wind. I could not ask for a better gift.

I'm free of family duties tonight so it looks good for an after work session at SB or Ambleside. AJ - what time are you heading down? I can leave work at about 4.
