I feel like if I go this time, it will be a fail. If I stay home, something will happen. It looked promising a short bit ago but not so much now. Up & down then shift to SW?

Looks like you made the right call Mike. I was really hoping for a dawn patrol session, I almost went out at 6:30, glad I didn't. Still on standby in case it comes back.

I've had a high skunk rate that this time of year on sketchy forecasts. It was a "painful" morning getting up early and flip flopping about if I should go.

Cranking 30 kts in WR. Do not no how long it will last.

Thanks for sharing Rob (I think

). Limited Intel for that location.

Contrary to the conventional forecasts it looks like it came back abit at other locations (12M kite?). Funny how it's so strong at White Rock only.
