The Narrows and Bridge Pool again. Watch for motor boats they will come out of the woodwork from the warm temps on a weekend.

I will try to get there and be ready early to catch some rides, have to be back in town by 2:30pm right when it's supposed to peak. Will have to hope it builds a little early.

West side access launch? Seems that would be the best.

Yeah, it might be less than 180 S wind early. Check it in the morning. The bridge pool should be working in the afternoon.

Wow, water temp at Area32 is now 68. I was lit on 4.7 and it was rigged maxed out. Wore my 3/2 suit. Couple of cars would slow down on the bridge to watch. Some campers asked how fast I go out there. Motor boat traffic was minimal had the whole place to myself. Wind readings at Bloomington and Champaign were sustained 30mph, gusts over 40mph, during the peak of the day.
