    Not that windy yesterday afternoon, but enough for Webguy & me to foil with big sails in the gusts. 4:30 - 5PM the wind picked up & I enjoyed half an hour of steady foiling. Chris made a...

  • Re: NW Wind Wednesday 4/24 by BoardMaverick 1 day 18 hours ago

    Based on the morning forecast, which slows midday, I’ve decided to stay home - I’ll try sailing the SE wind on Friday afternoon.
