I'm planning Bayview state park around noon for a flat water venue. I expect strong 20+ until after supper.

Light but still fun. After the wind bomb past through the wind died off completely. If finally came back up and after about a hour of waiting around Lubo, Dave C36, Simon and I got on the water. I was on a 5.8 and was powered at first, then it was up and down for a while then just down. It was still fun playing around it the shallow warm water practicing helitacks and tacks. :D
