Looks like maybe some wind on Thurs or Friday. If so, I hope to sail Van Pugh.

This lack of wind has got to be tough after such a windy time in Hatteras...

How was the kiting by the way? Were you able to get out on a board and feel the power?

Mel, I'm still not a kiter. We had so much wind, I only tried kiting 3 times, and did try the board only once, without much success. We did have a great Windsurfing trip though.

Nolan, call me if you're going and hopefully I'll join you, 770-967-0104/404-735-4944.

The forecast now looks more promising for Firday. If there's wind, I plan on heading to Van Pugh. Please let me know when you plan to go.

What's the consensus? Is the wind going to cooperate with our desires for a little fun on the lake this afternoon? Smile

It did come up late in the day yesterday (thurs,) I sailed my 7.0 on the 104 lliter board and then the 142 liter board. Randy & Noland sailed earlier and I was joined by Jim Crook. The Kiters were also out at Old Federal.

I hope to sail Van Pugh today if it blows.

Almost live Van Pugh update -

From about 1:30 to 2:30, NOTHING!

But..... Now that I'm back home, it lools like it's starting to move around alittle, might be like yesterday and come up late. If so, I'll probably go.
