And the timeline for wind moved up a bit, thanks to daylight savings.

I'm watching and waiting. Thinking maybe mid am check out Centennial. Presently iwindsurf wind looks ok (up and down) but is a tendency to very south. This could create more kite challenges especially with a high tide but less of a windsurf issue. Ferry terminal is a good option esp (from TAF) in pm due to direction.

"Fun" part of today could be cold air. But not too cold yet!

Are you at BB yet Mike? It’s getting light out. 8-)

I might leave for BB in an hour or so. 9 - 12 looks like good timing but could be either FT or Centennial.

Nope, not there yet. Hoping for a degree or two warmer (it will not get warm today). Present thinking is 9 ish depending on how wind looks. I'll be definitely checking Centennial first then go from there.

Ocean temp is 9.7 C today, this is where I really shine. While the rest of the crew is windsurfing/kiting, I’ll be staying nice and warm by spending most of my time waterstarting.
