Some forecasts are looking like there might be a good Northwesterly dawn patrol tomorrow. What are the chances for Acadia?

On standby as well, even though windguru is dampening my enthusiasm.

Is Squamish plan B, will it be a nuker?

I'm still betting on Acadia but Squamish may be gusty with a weak temperature gradient.

I see a few windsurfers on the Jericho webcam is it really gusting to 27 knots down there?
It doesn't look that windy on the webcam?

Just crossed North West Marine into parking lot west of usual one using Trimble to sasamat street, no one there to stop me. Race is on til 3:00 supposedly. Not many cyclists, I'm sure you can find a way to cross in to a parking lot, cars parked on nw marine, or park on side streets and walk your gear across me marine. Can't believe it's blocked for a few cyclists.
4 guys out at Jericho, planing half the time, freighters pointing south, sw, and west, all random. Going to rig a 5.6 and 93.
One more car crossed into parking lot using sasamat, no enforcement, not much patrol around.

Thanks Richi, hope you have a good session! Probably not worth the trip for me now.
