Looks like it could happen. Forecast is 18-20 ish west. Sunny from 11-2 6 degrees. Just saying’. Watch the Hollyburn sailing club website.

I believe the temperature and precipitation will be good motivators for procrastination :roll:

What about Whitby island. Seems like it could get some good conditions... Any experience with sailing there?

Kiting or windsurfing? I've been a few times windsurfing. There are a few Vancouver kiters that used to go down, as well as a bunch of locals. Bring small gear, it's windy as!!!
