Could be a good one for Area 31. Set the alarm clock for early. Be neat to be on the water around 8:00am. Need some storms tonight to clear out the campers. Always remember to asks folks if they've seen any snakes like on the new DNR signs. Be a good citizen and warn people about the danger they're in. Those signs are there for a reason.

Great day at A31, 5.2 foe me but over powered:) at times. Reid was there getting some high speed jybes. He was on 4.8, seems we were the lucky ones in the spot.

We hit the water around 8:00am. I was lit on my max down hauled 4.7. You could get swell rides out in the middle. Jibe-atoriums on both sides. The early morning started with port ramps and switched to starboard late morning as the wind shifted from SSW to WSW. We sailed from 8:00 to 11:00 just as forecast. Great day!

Curved mast for a wing edge, battens, Xply...the Cicada, way ahead of us. Side note: Cicadas emerge after a 17-year sleep.

Reid, this looks like a very well rested cicada indeed :)
It was like a parade at Wolf yesterday -as crowded as it gets. I got out around 12:30 with a 5.8 , switched to 7.5 at 4:00 and left at 5:30 or so. Good day for sailing, few girls joined the party aswell.
