Sunday, Oct 3

Wind on the weekend? Looks like maybe Sunday will be sailable. And maybe Monday. It's time, it's October, September sure sucked.

There's a breeze in the trees, so I'll be heading to Van Pugh this afternoon. See you there Gene. This looks like the last day of the year to sail on 80F water!

This afternoon was as good as it gets at the Lake with warm & sunny short board sailing. I went out with my 100 liter board & 7.0 meter sail fully powered. The wind kept picking up & I returned to the beach to downhaul all the way. Gene rigged down to a 6.0m and said it was just right. Jim was overpowered on his 7.5. Other sailors were Michael 6.5m, Bill A. 7.0, Dianne 5.2m, Chris P. 5.8m, and Scott S. on about a 6.

I agree with Barrett, it was a great day. The fall season has begun!

There's a chance for some wind the next few days, with Tuesday looking good.

Got tired of waiting for G-ville to report any wind so I headed to Galts. As good a day at Galts as I can remember. I sailed 6.5 with 100 liter board. We had 4 sailers including Eddie O. and Mimi. Warm, sunny, windy.

Gusty Galts, that is. 5.8 was not enough power though although in the gusts it was fine. Water was warm Dirol !
