-1 C forecast is for tonight.
Best get on the water now before the temperature drops later this afternoon ... unless you're sporting Tony's Ion drysuit.
Westerly Tuesday?

Good that I made the last hour. Exactly the right setup on 3.7 82l board. Thanks Alton and Mike for insisting on the smaller sail. Ramps were great, wish I had more time.
Toasty in my 5/4 oneil with extra 1.5 mm layer inside. Hands were freezing though, almost had to amputate them when they thawed out.

Challenging day today at Acadia:
1. WSW 30-35 - survival sailing on 3.7/74L
2. +5C warm in my O'Neill 5.5/4 Pyrotech but frozen fingers even with mitts
3. High tide made shore break challenging
4. Wind shadow required a swim before waterstarting
5. Zero visibility inbound with low glaring sun made spotting waves and staying upwind tricky
Good day today at Acadia:
1. Good sharing the waves (steep, chest high, breaking, smooth, nicely spaced) with Francois, Jonathan, Dave/C36, Ewart, Michael, Mike, Richi, James, Johnny, Randy, BabyMama, AJ, Lubo, Ben, Ryan and yes ... even Greg/Frogwindsurf
2. Plenty of sun for a teletubbie tan
3. No carnage in the shore break
4. Nailed 4 sweet gybes even in nuking conditions
5. My toasty warm O'Neill Pyrotech wetsuit remains pee-free

Superfreak, green harness, looked like a Goya board. Vid was probably shot from a helicopter.

Thanks David, always nice to recap the day with some photos. I love the close up photo of Alton, it almost looks like he's sailing in at kits beach. Hopefully not the last westerly of the year before winter temps.
