Breaking my perfect Whidbey skunk record is tempting. But good chance of local wind is preferred over 4 hours of driving. Maybe the next caravan? I think there's light westerly at ferry terminal. Counting on airport forecast so hoping for Acadia, then maybe Spanish Banks.

Add: Whidbey 31g38. Think I'd need Massimo's 70l (for sale) if this kind of wind was going to start to be common. :shock:

Just rolled into Jericho. Calm before the storm. Rain has subsided, light west wind in the flag and sky slowly clearing. Heading to Acadia now.

What time will the sandbar be exposed at Acadia?

The usual gusty sketchy launch at Spanish banks. Guys on 12m and 9m. The wind is still building so I'm going to get suited up and hope it it fills in to the beach a bit more.

Acadia osr, up and down 15-25, optimistic Adrien on 4.8 and 80l going downwind to dog beach to see if the unicorns are down there. Sunny breaks starting to pop out here and there, going out on a 4.5 and 78l. Come on out, as someone says!

Awesome session at Spanish banks this morning. 3 hours on the water and I was exhausted. I'm at kits beach right now and there is a lot of wind left, I'm considering a second session.

Fun sesh on the Sunshine Coast at Davis Bay on the 9m for a few hours. Still plenty of wind but had to get to the ferry lineup...don't want to miss that reservation today!

What a great Easter! Sunday Funday :D
