Was just at the boat launch, Like AJ said it's dropped off. Also there is a truck there taking up all the parking.

Showed up at 3rd Ave. A couple of guys out on 17m.

Don't got the time to sit and pray/dance to the wind gods today.

At least I got to fill up with gas in PR.

Best wishes for warm wind this afternoon!

What's happening at 3rd now? Is it worth the drive through the tunnel from Richmond?

Ha! I'm coming from downtown, wondering the same thing! I might chance it. Webcam shows a couple guys...Hopefully my 13m will do the job.

Out on 6m for 2 hours. Up and down in the morning, but in the afternoon it got steadier but light most people are on 12m and 10m.

Fun afternoon shift at 3rd on my 12m. Well powered with super flat water and some small kickers on the outside. The warmest session of the year for me. About 8 of us there riding until dark.

Lightly powered 12m session at 3rd today. 3 hours on the water, wind was pretty steady. Some fun waves and lots of flat shallow water. A bit chilly with the rain but still fun.
