I May try sailing a new launch at 101 (not 1001) if it goes SW this afternoon. I checked it out last SW and it seems to setup the same as WRB with the shape of the large sandbar there.

Gonna drag the wife and 7month old down there to check it out. Leaving north Van around noon.
Never been, so it'll be a casual trip. Hopefully it's windy LOL !

Updates from your 'exploring' always appreciated! :D

BWD has joined WindGuru-GFS for Sunday morning (light, but Locust-turbo effect might make it interesting). At least there is a ember of hope - three actually. :D ;)
Waiting, watching.

Squamish is 10-18 knots. Is that something to actually consider or does nobody kite there in the winter?

It looks like something is starting to happen, lots more colours appearing on wind on the water, and the flag is starting to fly on the boundry bay webcam. Hopefully it arrives before dark.

Locust hit SSE 22g26 at 2:30pm. Border wait is 30 minutes. Should have committed earlier :cry:
