Friday, July 7

Friday's forecast looks good for summer - W 10 mph G 20. I hope to sail Van Pugh, but Old Federal OK if other sailors prefer. Please post if you can go.

What time tomorrow?
I would prefer LLSC or Old Fed on a SW but VP would be ok also

I thought that was yesterday's ( Thurs. ) forecast and look what that got you. I think you can count on one thing for sure and that is rain at 3:00.

We had a great trip! I'll go with Foil Dude's plan based on wind direction. Thanks for the invitation to sail at LLSC if wind is SW. Early Friday AM the forecast has been downgraded, so I'll watch for wind before making the dive from Decatur to the Lake.

The ratio of "crap I've got to get done" vs "chances of it not raining on me" is too high. All those times I snuck out this spring have caught up with me. Le sigh.

Despite a slow start, clouds built up and passing storms brought wind, but no rain. Big thanks to Chris V. for inviting us to to LLSC.
