Tuesday had a decent wind in the afternoon. Hoping Friday could be kiteable (I have no school). Looks like there is a chance?

Bit of a stretch considering no thermal gradient. Maybe Friday afternoon clearing will help.

I know it's a bit of a stretch but today and yesterday got windy for a bit and Friday looks as good. Probably not more than an hour of light sketchy wind but I'm desperate :lol:

Hey Jack - you missed a great session.

Super steady SW 18-22, smooth and sunny session from 3-4pm with Matt, Jeff and Evette (all of us on 12m) and Francois windsurfing on 4.7. Wish I had started earlier but was busy with work. Could have stayed longer but chop and lulls developed after 4pm so I decided to quit while I was ahead.

Pretty sweet...unusually workable booters on the way out for unhooking - the ship doesn't usually bounce them out that nicely.

So how about tomorrow could it be a repeat?

Today had the better forecast so I doubt if Friday will be a repeat. Depending on the cloud cover I'm expecting SW 15-18 at best. On standby.

Yeah I just looked at the forecast and you're right today was a better forecast than tomorrow. I can still dream... I'll be ready and if it turns on I'm up for a session
