Looks like a day in the bridge pool. If Area 31 isn't open then The Bridge launch. Should be south wind in the morning turning to SW. Could be 4.2-able. Past November 15th is bonus land. Come on out it might be a season closer. Snow forecasted for Saturday.

Good day for folks. The wind didn't kick in or get the SW direction as forecast for the bridge pool. We even got the dry-slot and the sun popped out. It started to look good and then backed off. So we went to the Marina launch. Chris was ripping it on his 4.7. Rick showed up later and rigged 5.7 for the late afternoon wind. Water temp at the bridge was 65 degrees. Water temp at the marina cove was 56 degrees.

I sailed 4.7 at marina, the wind was having too much south to sail at the bridge. The water temp and air temp was 55 degrees so it wasn't too cold. Rick got on the water as I was leaving. Jenn, where have you been?
